Multiple scientific studies have shown that the learning in young children is governed most by the level of curiosity and interest about the topic. On the contrary, if they are bored and feel the lesson to be uninteresting, then the learning becomes a challenge. A lot of effort is directed towards making the classroom education more interesting. The interactive whiteboard is a device that can make the classroom a lively place and education an enjoyable process. Here are four games that can make the learning a lot more fun.
1. Guess The Word
This game is particularly useful for the young students learning the language. The teacher can show a picture and the students have to tell the word that describes the picture. The class can be divided into teams. The team that gives most correct answers wins. Not only this, there can be extra bonus points for spelling the word correctly.
2. Mathematical Games
The interactive whiteboard can be used to host mathematical games with a varying level of difficulty. Each team can be given tablets in order to interact and mark their answer on the main whiteboard. The teacher can show a mathematical expression. The team which calculates and marks the answer in the least time will win. The team giving the wrong answer loses a point.
