Some teachers might bristle at the idea of adding more screen-based games to the lives of children, arguing that kids today already spend too much time with their PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, or iPad. But the movement towards gamification in education has been steadily gathering steam for years, and both research and anecdotal evidence support the idea that games in the classroom can be an effective way to improve student learning and achievement.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adding games to the educational experience is one of the most obvious ways to do that. Students love games. They enjoy the process of playing them, they like competition, and they revel in winning. Currently, screen-based games are particularly popular with students, so it would make sense for teachers to utilise technology to bring games into the classroom.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A couple of other ways gamification can improve the learning experience include:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interactive whiteboard games promote learning<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As interactive whiteboards and panels (like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.prometheanworld.com\/gb\/products\/interactive-displays\/activpanel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Promethean\u2019s ActivPanel<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) become ubiquitous in classrooms throughout the world, interactive whiteboard games are being used more and more to get students to engage with all sorts of subject material and curricula. Teachers have access to a wide variety of options, including 3-D shapes interactive whiteboard games, alphabetical order interactive whiteboard games, and interactive whiteboard phonics games, to name just a few.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Promethean\u2019s ActivPanel includes free <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prometheanworld.com\/gb\/products\/lesson-delivery-software\/activinspire\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">teaching software<\/a> that offers a plethora of gamification ideas for teachers. For example, teachers can access premade templates to utilize matching, flash card, crossword, and memory games. The spinner is a way to gamify the process of calling on students to come to the board, present their work, or answer a question. The timer is also a handy way to add excitement to the classroom experience, simply by asking students to answer before time is up or by having groups of students race to see who can come up with a solution to a problem first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Teachers and students can discover a whole host of interactive whiteboard games and resources online, like those we\u2019ve mentioned above. If you\u2019re after further inspiration though, why not consider how Sudoku can help teach number recognition and logic; Hangman allows kids to practice spelling and Ruzzle is a good way to expand vocabulary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re still after more classroom games for your interactive whiteboard, we\u2019ve got even more resources available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.prometheanworld.com\/gb\/resource-centre\/blogs\/classroom-games-for-ks1-students\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Classroom games for KS1<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.prometheanworld.com\/gb\/resource-centre\/blogs\/classroom-games-for-ks2-students\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Classroom games for KS2<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.prometheanworld.com\/gb\/resource-centre\/blogs\/classroom-games-for-ks3-students\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Classroom games for KS3<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.prometheanworld.com\/gb\/resource-centre\/blogs\/classroom-maths-games-for-every-age-group\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Classroom maths games for all ages<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Explore new ways to implement games in education<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind, there is no one right way to gamify a classroom. Some teachers like to set up a reward system wherein individual students or groups of students earn points or badges when a game is won, or a task is completed. However, some experts caution that students might become too motivated by rewards and less interested in the actual process of learning. They say that kids need to have intrinsic motivation, which is when they enjoy learning for the sake of learning, rather than extrinsic motivation, which is based on rewards. One way to avoid this is to utilize rewards that are related to the learning process, such as taking students on an educational field trip rather than hosting a pizza party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another option is to set up a point or reward system that mimics the progressive levels that are so popular with digital games. For example, teachers can track their students\u2019 earned points over multiple classes and a longer period of time, allowing them to reach critical milestones and level up as they go. Once they reach a new level, they could receive a specific badge or get some type of reward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The important thing to remember is that games should not be seen as a frivolous addition to a lesson plan but rather as an integral part of the learning process. When fun, engaging, challenging games are used in the classroom, whether through the use of an interactive whiteboard, individual handheld devices, or laptop computers, they can have a significant effect on students\u2019 level of engagement and help increase their ability to grasp new concepts and achieve academically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-use-games-to-improve-results-in-your-classroom-with-promethean\">Use games to improve results in your classroom with Promethean<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever way you want to teach your students, keeping them involved in the process is important.
