Journeys into Game Based Learning

 

It's all fun and games with this learning approach

 

"All this learning in a fun way was so

amazing...The kids were all engrossed
in the game until the very end. It was
really an eye opening experience to see
how kids can learn while having fun!”

Hear from teachers who tried out game

based learning in their classrooms.

 On Passover, children have an
opportunity to focus on the value of
