Motivational Games

Are you gonna use games in your classroom?  Yes, I will be using games in my special education classroom. 
How are you gonna use games?  I plan on using games in every content area, maybe once or twice a week if possible.  Maybe have stations depending on the grade level, maybe have children help to come up with their own version of a game.  Maybe incorporating technology. 
Why are you games important?I believe that using games as a learning tool will help to motivate the students.  They will be so engaged that they will be learning at the same time.  This will also help in sharing, teamwork, self-determination, and will also help some with social skills.

  2. Games are a great way to learn. Many times the student is playing without realizing they are also learning. I think it is important for all classrooms to use games for the purpose of learning.
