But there are also things you need to avoid when executing classroom gamesToday on TeachHUB.com, frequent contributing writer Janelle Cox, who is a veteran educator based on the East Coast of the United States, takes a look at common mistakes teachers make when playing classroom games, including:
  • Don’t Forget What Your Learning Objective Is
  • Don’t Keep Trying New Games, Stick with What Works
  • And More!

Janelle sums up her article like this: “Fear not, classroom games can be a great way for students to learn and have fun without the chaos and off-task behavior. As long as you can keep the game moving, and make sure that all students know their role in the game, they can be a great way to actively immerse their attention in learning.”
