Learning in Action: Let's Play and Learn Together!

Help me give my students a dynamic and engaging learning environment by incorporating educational games into our classroom. Games offer an incredible way to reinforce lessons, foster teamwork, and make learning both fun and effective!

My Project

There are so many ways that incorporating games can help my students learn and grow!

Group Collaboration is key: All of the selected games encourage teamwork, communication, and critical thinking, making my ELA lessons more interactive and engaging.

Bananagrams for Vocabulary Building: Students race to create word grids using vocabulary from current readings, reinforcing spelling and word comprehension.

Apples to Apples for Word Choice: Students match nouns to descriptive adjectives, learning about connotation, denotation, and persuasive language through discussion and reasoning.

Pictionary for Visualizing Literary Concepts: Students illustrate vocabulary words, themes, or characters from class texts, enhancing their understanding through visual representation.

Cranium for Multifaceted Learning: Combining word games, drawing, and acting, students engage in creative writing, grammar challenges, and acting out literary scenes or characters.

Storytelling with Cranium:Use Cranium’s prompts for students to craft creative narratives or act out scenes, boosting their understanding of plot structure and character development.

Synonyms and Antonyms with Pictionary: Students draw visual representations of synonyms or antonyms, strengthening their grasp of language and word relationships.

Apples to Apples for Theme and Character Analysis: Customize the game with words and concepts from novels or plays, encouraging students to think critically about themes and character traits.

Group Collaboration: All games encourage teamwork, communication, and critical thinking, making ELA lessons more interactive and engaging.
