Gamification

In the recommended strategies list, you read about using games in class to build skills, friendships and to support learning.

There are many simple games which can be used as a fun and collaborative way to learn and help relationships develop between students. Consider how you could adapt games to learn other parts of the English language or use images to make it bilingual so children can learn each other’s language.

Gamification is more than simply adding games to your lesson. It includes taking key concepts from games such as points, scoreboards, levels, challenges and more and weaving these through lessons to encourage children to see learning as a fun, exciting process.
