I'm not sure whether this will help, but if you have a classroom with
even 1 computer available to the students, Tom Synder Publications
"Decisions, Decisions" series is an outstanding tool to get kids
thinking, making decisions, sharing with each other and various other
educational objectives. This software was written for the single
computer classroom and the kids love it and learn from it. There are
several titles and types of decisions. He's in almost all computer
software catalogs.
