Why use the Primary Games Arena scoring system?
Our aim is to encourage educational learning through competitiveness and make our games that little bit better :).

Leaderboards drive competitivity
We understand the importace of teacher driven learning but we also understand the needs of children to educate themselves. By creating a community of children who see Primary Games Arena as a way to compete with each other we have found that children often work harder and faster when competing against friends or other groups/nations of people.
