5 Summary

Using games in your lessons will bring many benefits to your science teaching. Your students will learn the rules of each game you use very quickly. They will also easily adapt to the changes in classroom routines needed for the games to be successful. As they get used to this teaching method they will also begin to adapt the games and help you create new games.

The lessons will become more enjoyable and your students will become more motivated. Most importantly, they will also learn more science this way. You will also have a better idea about their learning, even in a large class.

When your students play games the noise levels will be higher than you are used to. But this will be ‘good’ noise as it means your students are actively learning.
