WHAT’S IN A NAME?
A LOT
Anything can become a “game” if you present it that
way- for children, a game tends to be active, it has rules,
and people are “out” or penalized for not doing well.
For older students, a “game” is much more attractive
than a “dance”. For younger students, a “game” is much
more attractive than an “assessment”.
