Schools should create special opportunities for students to try new approaches through innovation, thus enabling every child to excel and be groomed into productive citizens of the future.
Game-based learning will be very effective in classrooms as it will make students more attentive and will help them better understand a topic. As most of the students these days are more into different games, it will be interesting for them if what they learn is in the form of a game. A Chinese proverb says, “Tell me and I forget, show me and I remember, involve me and I understand.” The concept of game-based learning is not new. In the fifteenth century, people were already teaching the alphabet and mathematics to children in attractive ways, using card games or counting biscuits.
Today, all experts in the field of child development agree on the usefulness and effectiveness of learning through play. When children play, they discover, create, improvise, and learn. The use of games as a learning tool is a pivotal theme for child psychologists.
