“Why classroom games can be much more than lesson fillers,” an article published on August 25, 2017, by Mike Astbury give reasons why games should be in the classroom. Games are helpful to helping students keep on track and engage in the lesson. One reason why games are good to play in the classroom is that it is a great way to revisit contend that you had previously learned in the classroom. Games are great reviews for tests. They also are great to see how much a the students know before the start of a new unit. Games also are a great companion for book work. They get students interested in the lesson before the teach assigns the boring book work. Students are more engaged in the lessons when they find ways to make them fun.
Another great way that games help in the classroom is it encourages creativity in students and helps with their language. They can use the vocab of the class to tell jocks and to help form their own opinions. Games also have a tendency to help the teacher as well as the students. Teachers become more inventive. Games add variety to the class and to the lesson plans. I have always thought that it was fun to play games in class. They help the students learn and have fun at the same time. They also learn that education can be fun. While trying to plan lessons this semester, I have been trying to find ways to add games and make the lessons more fun and engaging. I also like how Mike said about games helping the teacher. It can get boring writing the same type of lesson plans, but games add variety to what the teacher is teaching. If the teacher is board, the students will be as well. Astbury, M. (2017, August 25). Why classroom games can be much more than lesson fillers.
