Teacher-led Games Based Learning

Inspiring, Engaging and Motivating Students from Ages 10 to 21+

Games based learning in education fits within the wider wave of gamification. At games-ED, we provide innovative, teacher-led collaborative games based learning.  Our games support: subject understanding; personal, learning & thinking skills; and cross curriculum dimensions. They support multiple learning styles and build on the principle that learning can be fun. The games are easy to deliver and provide interactive / experiential learning that promotes collaboration, enables problem solving and accelerates learning.

Our current games based learning covers young people’s issues, sustainable development and climate change and support learning in primary schools, secondary schools and colleges / universities. To accommodate learners of different ages the learning games can be played at varying levels and supported with different activities.

Sustainable development: Environment, health, crime, economy, poverty & resource use.

Innovation in Learning

games-ED exercises are played collaboratively. The students are split into teams, take on different roles in a simulation and collectively make improvements. The games are supported with additional activities that reflect on the learning and stretch the learners.

The learning game can be run in a timetable slot, or can be extended for use in an event / thematic day.

Flexible Learning

Our games based learning can support subjects such as: Enterprise, Geography, Health and Social Care, PSHE, Science and Sociology in the Key Stage 2-4 Curriculum.

They can also be used in Further and Higher Education in courses such as Business Studies, Environmental Courses, Economics, Geography, and Planning / Policy.

They also provide an innovative way to deliver whole school activities such as Eco-Schools and Sustainable Schools or staff training / team building.

Note: The company practices what it “preaches” on sustainability - click here to find out more about our sustainability commitment.

Method of delivery

The games can be delivered entirely by school/college staff. Alternatively, we can come in and deliver a session for you. Further down the line, students who are experienced in the game can deliver to others.

The games are easy to deliver with inbuilt help and are supplied with pdfs of teaching guide, worksheets and materials.

games-ED Community

Licencees of our games also get access to our community pages where they can access tips on delivering games based learning and find teaching resources to use in lessons. Click here to find out more.

I liked the opportunity to experience your game and the way I took leadership of the group.
