In this engaging session, educators will explore how to gamify the classroom to create an inclusive, comfortable, and fun environment where students feel confident sharing ideas and collaborating with their peers. Through activities like Codenames, Poetry for Neanderthals, and immersive lessons, we’ll discuss how games and playful interactions can break down social barriers, encourage teamwork, and foster a sense of belonging among students. You'll learn how to incorporate laughter, creativity, and healthy competition into your classroom to inspire students to take risks, think critically, and contribute freely to class discussions. This session will offer strategies to make learning more interactive and get the teacher and students excited for lessons by using games, simulations, investigations, and activities that help students bond, share knowledge, and grow together, while cultivating a positive and dynamic classroom culture. Get ready to transform your classroom into a space where every student feels seen, heard, and excited to participate!
