A classroom observation software: eCOVE Software Provided by Dr. John Tenny
eCOVE was created by Dr. John Tenny. It is a software program that collects objective data during an observation. If it would be of use to students who are doing classroom observations. The students can download a trial version (the full version that runs for 30 days). With it, they can do objective research at no cost (just limit the data collection to a 30 day period). I hope it adds to the experience of your students.

All kinds of fun games/activities: Provided by Ms. Mary Couzin

It is true that many of the traditional games are static as you say, but the new/modern and the eurostyle games are quite different. I think you will find them interesting, fun and fresh play every time as in many cases the board is ever-changing.

Have fun!
