My Take
This is a great resource. It's worth the money if you teach K-4 or have many students who need extra support. My kiddos loved it.
How I Use It
I use it as a free time extra as well as an additional support for my students who need more help.

An extension to help support reflective thinking would be to have students spend 2-3 days playing games, and 1 day reflecting on what they were learning while playing these games.
