I've shared several gamifying ideas in the past but I felt it was time for a dedicated blog post about it. Gamifying your lessons can really engage your students. It allows students to have fun while they learn.
Why Gamify? Games. Are. Fun. Plain and simple. We like them and so do they. Gamifying lessons you already have will 100% increase student engagement. How do you gamify a lesson? I like taking lessons that teachers already have and just spicing them up. Instead of reviewing on paper, create or work with your instructional technologist/digital learning coach to help you create something digital! My favorite ways to do this is to take a board game and throw it right into Google Drawings or Genially! There are also some fantastic templates out there already created you can go grab. Feel free to grab any of ones I've linked in this post and use them with your students! What are some great resources? Genially, Google Drawings, Google Slides, (really, any G Suite tools), digital escape rooms, websites like Kahoot, Quizizz, Gimkit, Flippity, Decktoys, and Quizlet or Apps like GooseChase! Consider using playlists and choiceboards and incorporating digital badging! Check out @Ditchthattextbook's post here on 15 ways to gamify your class! Check out a few examples of how we've gamified lessons below!
