My students love playing games, so utilizing educational games within the classroom has always been a hit with the students and helps them retain what I put in front of them. Instruction becomes engaging with whiteboards and flip charts, but adding actual games lets them forget that they are learning, but it all stays in their heads. Helping use fun ways to enjoy their instruction helps them to focus without having too much stress. My class has a favorite quote: "I never lose. I either win or I learn." by Nelson Mandela. It helps the mindset of the class and brings fun and social-emotional learning into the classroom, encouraging complete engagement! Help me to bring these items into the classroom so that I can get them having fun while learning!
