Students play it, teachers perpetuate it, parents condone it, principals endorse it, and governments legislate it. The "game of school" is that familiar scenario where students' natural curiosity and desire to learn are replaced with a frantic rush (or a compliant shrug) to do the work, please the teacher, and get the grades. This game is easy to master, but exerts a high price. Can we afford to pay the price in wasted time and idle minds? In this compelling book, Robert L. Fried shows how we can change the rules of the game, reclaim and refocus the learning experience, and ultimately bring joy back into the classroom. The Game of School is filled with interviews and stories of teachers and students who are struggling to put the game of school behind them and engage in authentic learning. We experience the excitement of the first day of first grade; listen to urban teens discuss Shakespeare's Othello; and meet a college student who is beginning to question her long disengagement with learning. We are introduced to seven types of learners—from "go-getters" to "pluggers" to "rebels"—and find out how the game shapes their relationship to schooling and life. The Game of School offers workable solutions that take into account the reality of a culture consumed with testing, accountability, and the race for college. Fried redefines our common ideas of discipline, curriculum, instruction, grading, motivation, and family involvement in ways that enhance true learning and diminish the game's stranglehold on our curiosity and will. He argues that classrooms are more easily "managed" in a climate of mutual respect, and students are eager for "instruction" when it is challenging and engaging. His "Joy and Misery Index" serves to remind teachers of what really matters most in the classroom. Thoughtful and inspiring, The Game of School offers suggestions and ideas for teachers, parents, and students who want to free themselves from the ever-tightening grip of a game in which even winners end up losing.

32 GROUP GAMES which have been tried and tested on groups of primary school children.😁⚽🏈🏀 These are games which can be played in the classroom whilst observing the distances recommended by the Covid-19 anti-contagion guidelines which are now obligatory in schools but can unfortunately compromise the global and social aspects of students' learning.🎨🎲😁⚽🏈🤼♂️ This publication (B/N) is dedicated to those primary school teachers who, like us, consider games to be an integral part of learning and a cross disciplinary way to respond to the deeper needs of the child and his/her development. Theory and practice have demonstrated that, without a shadow of a doubt, group games are the most natural and spontaneous way for children to grow, learn, test their limits and discover their talents. In this book you will find 32 group games to use in the classroom (with pictures, photos and drawings) which are also linked to the primary curriculum. 5 of them could be considered essential "old classics" (🏀Fishing competition 🏀Mime game 🏀Team hangman 🏀Name, object, place 🏀Forbidden words) whilst the other 27, while sometimes containing familiar elements of other games, have more original and unpublished formats. These latter games arose from our daily research into finding a way to make school more lively and creative and to encourage students to participate and play an active role in their own learning, something which they have done with great enthusiasm and creativity (🥎Identity card 🥎Find the word 🥎How, where, when? 🥎Art competition 🥎Poetry competition 🥎What or to what 🥎The good and the bad 🥎Question and answer 🥎The circle of rhyme 🥎The king orders 🥎Guess which three 🥎Guess what 🥎The grandparents' dinner 🥎The division challenge 🥎Important things 🥎The interview 🥎Arithmetic olympics 🥎Hidden words or find the verb 🥎Free words 🥎Pass the paper 🥎Mute painter 🥎Point the finger 🥎Sherlock Holmes 🥎Yes or no 🥎Musical bingo 🥎Auction 🥎Full bag). The Russian linguist and anthropologist Vladimir Propp showed that fairy tales only have a limited number of "functions" (31 in fact) and we should bear in mind that this is also true for children's games. It is therefore only natural that we should find similarities between games from 100 years ago and today and games from children in Africa or any other continent. Although the 32 games have been designed for use in the limited space available in a classroom, they are all "games" and, as such, all have the same characteristics of being adaptable, entertaining, functional, enjoyable and interactive. They allow children to release their emotions and interact, they are motivational, creative and empathetic whilst also helping the internalisation of those skills and concepts which are present in the school curriculum from Maths to English, and Music to Civil Education.So whilst the scientific world is working to eradicate the virus which has us in the grip of a global pandemic, us teachers can also play our part by coming up with new ideas and strategies to deal with this new normality. We can find ways in which we can maintain the necessity of "physically social distancing" yet still take into consideration the needs of our youngest citizens to grow and develop skills and abilities on a global scale from working and playing in a group.

If your school has a wet playtime policy then everyone in the school will be clear about the procedures, your wet play box will be organised and children will have a stimulating, rewarding playtime experience. However, if you are like a lot of schools across the country you will be scrambling around trying to find activities to entertain the children or you will have just discovered your wet play box needs replenishing! The problem with wet playtimes is that they happen haphazardly, we never know when they are going to occur and often we are completely unprepared. The aim of this book is to make sure you are prepared and that you have a wealth of ideas up your sleeve. Through intensive research, the author gathered feedback from teachers, children, lunchtime supervisors, parents and classroom assistants and discovered that you wanted a book that is inspiring, user friendly, and packed with activities, games and ideas that are easy to implement. To make it as easy as possible to use, it includes lots of copiable activities and ideas that support schools in creating a wet playtime policy that will lead to happier playtimes. It includes the following: Easy to run, stimulating activities and games that can be quickly organised at short notice. A selection of copiable resources that can be quickly printed off the CD-ROM or photocopied from the book. Ideas to help implement a wet playtime policy. Creative ideas to support you in organising wet play. Structures for behaviour management at wet playtimes including rewards and encouragers to celebrate children who play well.

It is just as essential that the teacher who enters a schoolroom in September know how to play with children as to teach them. By no better means, perhaps, may the spirit of friendship and co-operation be so thoroughly strengthened and firmly established as through games. The mental, moral and physical growth attained through participation in games cannot be overestimated. To listen to directions, to understand them thoroughly and to execute them exactly as given require alert attention and accurate motion. To play fair, win honestly and accept defeat cheerfully, remembering at all times to be courteous to opponents, are invaluable lessons, and conducive to good citizenship. Active games quicken the sense perceptions. Through them the dull, passive mind is aroused to an active interest in external things to which the hitherto inert body is forced to respond. As a result the child observes more closely, thinks more clearly and moves with greater ease. To rhythmic games may be attributed the freedom of movement, graceful carriage and appreciation for and response to rhythm by which the child attempts to give expression to his inmost feelings. By correlation with language, quiet games furnish a successful means for establishing correct habits of speech. Correlated with number, much valuable drill in the fundamental processes may be secured in a most delightful and informal way. All children love to play, and, cosmopolitan as is the blend of our public schools today, in the recreation period is found an opportunity for universal expression not afforded in other activities of the day. Keenly sensitive to their surroundings, they are quick to catch the enthusiasm of their leader. The child, timid and retiring of disposition, becomes a creature of initiative, while not infrequently the forward, self-assured child is given a much needed lesson in self-restraint. Through his skill displayed in playing games involving contest, a formerly unappreciated child compels the respect and admiration of his classmates, a tribute that may play no small part in influencing his course in after life. It is only by getting into the game with the children and encouraging them to play naturally, permitting them to get all the joy there is in the performance hereof, that games may be made of greatest service. The effects of such play cannot fail to dispel the artificial atmosphere which for various reasons permeates many of our schools today, and to establish, in its place, wholesome and natural conditions, that will challenge the child's best efforts and render school life pleasant as well as profitable. Graded Games for Schools and Community Recreation The Indoor Recreation Work is given in the form of plays and games. While the plays and games listed have been carefully arranged and graded with a view to adapting them to the schoolroom, many of them are suited to playground, hall and gymnasium use. It is suggested that at least one game period a day be given out of doors during the pleasant weather. Rules to Be Observed in Giving Games 1. Teacher should be familiar with the game before giving it. 2. Teach by imitation in the story-plays and rhythm, as best results come from the teacher playing with the children. 3. Be sure that the air is fresh when giving a game....

What if schools, from the wealthiest suburban nursery school to the grittiest urban high school, thrummed with the sounds of deep immersion? More and more people believe that can happen - with the aid of video games. Greg Toppo's The Game Believes in You presents the story of a small group of visionaries who, for the past 40 years, have been pushing to get game controllers into the hands of learners. Among the game revolutionaries you'll meet in this book: *A game designer at the University of Southern California leading a team to design a video-game version of Thoreau's Walden Pond. *A young neuroscientist and game designer whose research on "Math Without Words" is revolutionizing how the subject is taught, especially to students with limited English abilities. *A Virginia Tech music instructor who is leading a group of high school-aged boys through the creation of an original opera staged totally in the online game Minecraft. Experts argue that games do truly "believe in you." They focus, inspire and reassure people in ways that many teachers can't. Games give people a chance to learn at their own pace, take risks, cultivate deeper understanding, fail and want to try again—right away—and ultimately, succeed in ways that too often elude them in school. This book is sure to excite and inspire educators and parents, as well as provoke some passionate debate.
