Looking for fun online history games!

I am searching for fun online interactive history games for kids. I will post what I find. If anyone knows of a great site, please add in the comments!!

Here is one that I found:

I played Hopping Through History and it was both fun and most of the information seemed accurate. If someone plays it and finds otherwise, let me know.

Oh my, here was a fun one:

I did the Duckshoot and picked the Renaissance for a topic.  It would be interesting to continue playing there and get a UK perspective on history.

On this site:

I played Place the State and my 7 year old joined me. There were some fighting games there that didn't look real educational, but I didn't try them out. Might not want to turn the kiddos loose on it.

take a look at www.funnelbrain.com (www.funnelbrain.com). Not a game, exactly, but an interactive site where students collaboratively create online study materials.

I would strongly recommend www.bbc.co.uk/history/

then look around - there are archeological games, building the pyramids, surviving in an early British village, painting a medieval cathedral, a "battlefield academy" the includes ancient, medieval, Napoleonic and WW2 battles, a code-breaking game set in Elizabethan England
