Go with the flow!

That feeling you get when you are totally absorbed in whatever you are doing - reading a book, watching a tv series, playing a video game. That feeling is something called flow.

In my grad class, we were tasked with an interesting assignment: play a video game. But why? Why would a teacher assign a video game for homework? To try and tap into that idea of flow! That feeling that our students already enjoy in their free time! Why WOULDN'T we find a way to tap into that!

I already love playing games in my classroom! One of the favorites in my classroom is Staff Wars, but I'm always on the lookout for new games!

What games do you use with your students?
