BENEFITS OF

PLAYING GAMES IN
THE CLASSROOM
•One of the main benefits of
integrating games into the
curriculum is that it brings a tool
into the classroom in which
students are familiar with and enjoy
using.
•Games also encourage pattern
identification, exploration, and
provide a reinforced scaffolding
approach to learning; taking what
they know and have learned and
connecting this with new
information being introduced
•Creating games focuses on the
student as the teacher and teacher
as the facilitator, guide or resource.
•Other benefits include soft skill
building in peer-to-peer and peer-to-
teacher communication,
collaboration and cooperation.
