Samorost 2

This is a VERY addictive game (I warned you) and it has been used by teachers to develop both problem-solving skills and to lift the students writing skills. It is a deceptively simple game where you have to click on various parts of the page in order to set in motion events that will take you through to the next screen. This is a very expressive game while not having any language used so would be brilliant for generating language with ELLs. Check out this blog post by Ewan McIntosh that talks about gaming in general with a focus on how you could use Samorost 2 near the bottom of the post.
