Once the game starts, students start talking, thinking, and working together, with hands shooting up and everyone waiting to see what happens next. Once students know another game is coming, winning becomes a reason to pay attention, practice, and make sure they’re ready for the next one.

The excitement is great, but the research is even better—educational games have been linked to stronger achievement, retention, and motivation. See the research.
