Games for learning – bring play into education

Games for Learning helps educators see the learning potential in play and to devise simple games to enhance learning in their subject area. Each participant experiences a range of educational games and has the opportunity to devise and test out their own creation.

The workshop includes:

  • An overview of the different types of play
  • An introduction to clown and physical games
  • Word-based improvisation games
  • How to think strategically about designing games for learning
  • A template to design your own games for your students

Workshop length: 2.5 hours
Group size: Up to 16
Suitable for: teachers, lecturers and trainers

It’s a real trick to bring a group of adults together and get them to play games without being childlike. (Candice Pratico-Trevor, Challenger Institute of Technology)
