Often I summarize the topics and facts we learned using games like quizzes and ordering tasks. Most times I prepare my own games using the platformhttp://learningapps.org/ which provides a couple of different formats to fill with own content.

Besides this we play science games on our whiteboard

I am math teacher and usually use the Scratch. Students build their own quizzes on the content. I share a studio with games made by students and Portuguese and Spanish under the etwinning project.

Activity: Games you have played - how could they be used as a tool for teaching & learning?  mepetrescu https://padlet.com/mepetrescu/gamesinschools/wish/61466289

When I was a kid I was playing outdoor a lot. One of my favorite games was hopscotch. Nowadays children don't play this game anymore, but when I was a kid most of the sidewalks were drawn with white chalk for this game. As a math teacher I think this game could be used with different tasks (for example to avoid prime numbers, or odd numbers).

Activity: Games you have played - how could they be used as a tool for teaching & learning?  mepetrescu https://padlet.com/mepetrescu/gamesinschools/wish/61466803 I used to play a game like that in the picture. As it is a game with dices and numbers, it can be used by math classes, possibly also with some questions that students should answer in order to go forward.

This game can definitely be used in math classes for developing logical thinking.
