This kind of games must consider different aspects so these can cover all the purpose that they want to provide, such as usability, playability, learnability, effectiveness, simplicity, and so on. That is why the usability evaluation plays an important role in it. However, despite the fact that a lot of usability evaluation methods exist, most of them are focused on traditional computer usage and those are not 100% compatible with mobile phone usage. Therefore, a systematic literature review was conducted in order to identify usability evaluation guidelines for mobile educational games, which are concerning primary school students as users. This work is the first step toward making a set of usability guidelines for the evaluation of mobile educational games for Primary school students.
