You can use gamification even among the eldest students, for example in high school, I use games with role plays such as the Werewolves of Millers Hollow, andEscape Games and Murder Mystery Parties. You can see different facettes of the students' personalities and it helps them shed light on skills that we do not necessarily know.

This year I've created treasure hunt (for our annual Walking Day) which required the students to solve various types of puzzles in order to discover what location they were supposed to go to and take a group photo - there were five thematic trails, for five groups of students. I also had a roleplaying activity for the lesson about mental disorders.

STUDENTS FROM OUR SCHOOL, THEY get to school every day with schoolare minibuses from 13 villages of the commune. No matter how hard it is, or it seems, I always find the power to wake up in the morning to fit into the program. Games play an important role as they are small. I discovered together, games in ages. At the kindergarten, together with the educators, we play "the game of words: countries, waters, plants, animals ..... associating with different colors and states, also playing with wooden cubes, constructing buildings, inventing ... discovering; in 6-year-olds, we already apply jigsaw puzzle, katan, or math games.

I teach in an Italian School of second degree. I teach Math and Science in three classrooms. I have students from 11 to 13 years old.

Some students don't love school, so I thought about inventing a game at the entrance to the school every morning.

At the entrance of each class there is a plane and a box full of pieces of a puzzle.

For each class the subject of puzzle is different.

At 8.15 a.m. Every student takes a piece of the puzzle, answers the question written behind the piece , if the answer is right, the student can attack the piece on the plane.

For each right answer the student wins a chocolate or charm.

Digital games are very useful today and children very interesting but in a certain extent. While I was in vocational practice at school, the teacher used the Quiz game to repeat for exam, she used the connection and listening games. Kahoot is also a very good game. In my future work at school, I would certainly use all kinds of games that would be fun and useful for my children.

In my classes I use plickers to review stuff that we have studied. I prefer it over kahoot as you don't depend on students' phones or computers. Also, I use the password game that we are familiar with on TV to review vocabulary. Students get more engaged when they are competing.

We sometimes have problems with students who don't return the books they borrowed from library on time. I think I should turn book lending into a contest. Each time a student returns borrowed book on time, he gets a point. The goal is to collect as many points as possible untill the end of the school year. The winner gets a medal and a reward.

These are really interesting examples. And they really do look fun and funny. I don’t think I’m that creative. And I don’t even have my own classroom. I occasionally use games but I wish to do it much more. I mostly use drama games and activities, but I don’t think they are adapting pupil’s behaviour.

Maybe if there was a basketball hoop over the bin, there would be less waste on the floor. It would be fun and better behaviour. Or we could put paper sheets on school desks (pupils wouldn’t doodle on the desk but on paper and everyone could add and make an original drawing).

Little by little we learn to play, our brains assimilate much better when involved in activities that lead to amusement, interest and competitiveness.
