Community reviews for Presidents vs. Aliens

At its simplest level, students must select at least 2 kinds of questions to answer, perhaps identifying presidents by photos/portraits and correct nicknames. So, the game provides some variation, appealing to what interests/challenges the learner. Students answer questions correctly and earn presidents. Earning a certain number of presidents unlocks different games, like Heads of State. Students can choose to learn about quotes, facts, events, nicknames, party affiliation, or vice presidents. Earning 18 presidents unlocks the Executive Order game; earning 15 presidents unlocks Heads of States. Games are played with well-known monuments shown in the background. The game portion (slinging a president at an alien) is fun and involves some strategy, but I think the captivating part involves trying to answer questions correctly to see if one is gaining knowledge. Personal improvement trumps the game reward.
