Games can be a huge success in an educational environment when they are used in a consistent and proactive manner. They can be a huge motivation factor for students. When students are motivated, they tend to participate more and pay attention. It really helps students learn to collaborate in a positive manner. It is also one of the few times where peer pressure can be a positive thing to help students come out of their educational comfort zone and help them become more vocal and in charge of their own destiny. This peer pressure can be used to create a controlled form of competitiveness that will heighten student involvement. The one thing that games help teachers achieve is to take away the stress of getting the wrong answer. Kids understand that games will have situations where getting an answer wrong is commonplace. This really helps students learn to manage risk much better. Students will learn to cooperate with one another much more and there can be many positive social aspects that are brought to life through classroom games.
