Summary: Learning by Fun and Games

Summary

This article was written by Diana Hicks and Andrew Littlejohn in December 2009. It is about the ways for learning by fun and games. There are several ways for learning by fun and games and it is better because people can remember easily when they learn in that way.

Learning by fun is the easiest way to learn as the figures show. There are three popular ways teachers are using it to teach the children in the school. First, vocabulary game; teachers divide the class into 4-6 teams and give each team a letter to write as many sentences as they can in four minutes, the winner will have a point. Second, rhyming game; this game class needs four teams A, B, C and D. The teacher will choose two words to find the rhyme. For example, tea and chair, students will have four minutes to write down as many words as they can that rhyme with the word. When the time is up the teacher checks if there is any rhyme word are similar for tea or chair. For example tea and bee are similar. If there are similar answers they will get half a mark. Finally, miming is the funny game for learning; students acting something for others to guess what it is.

Those are the easiest ways to learn by fun and still there are a lot of other games.
