The activities mentioned here can be done either with a game system in the school grounds and having the students play the game during one class period a week, or when the students have the games in their homes you could do the activities as special projects. One relatively cheap way of incorporating games into a school would be by writing a proposal asking the school to purchase the systems. I'd advice in favor of the PS2, since it is the most cost effective, has a good library of classroom-safe commercial games, and is backwards compatible with the PSOne, which also has a nice list of classroom-safe games.
