Games in education

Hello everybody, I have always enjoyed playing games. Some people may wonder, “Why play games in a class?” I think it is important to articulate the value of game playing for myself, my students, colleagues, parents and others. 

Here there are five reasons why I believe game playing is a powerful instructional tool.

1. Students learn through the process of playing the game. 
2. Games provide a context for engaging practice.
3. Through games, students can learn a variety of important skills. 
4. While playing games, students develop a variety of connections with the content and can form positive memories of learning.
5. Games grab students’ attention and actively engage them.
