Why Games Are Essential in the Classroom

We know that kids learn best when they’re having fun. When an activity is engaging and enjoyable, students become more focused and their brains absorb information effortlessly. In fact, games like Escape Room are not only motivating—they’re a great way to reward good behaviour and hard work. When students are having fun and working together as a team, they stay on track, behave well, and are excited to keep learning!

One of the ways I use ESL Escape Room is at the end of each unit, as a way to review what we’ve covered and give students something to look forward to. I tell my students, “The harder we work in the next unit, the faster we’ll solve the puzzles next month, and the better chance our team will have of winning!” It’s a great motivational tool that turns every lesson into an opportunity for students to level up!
