Why game-based learning works

Game-based learning helps students actively participate and retain more of what they learn. It encourages creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking - core skills for success both in and out of the classroom.

In this guide, you'll find:

  • 23 ready-to-use whiteboard games for reading, math, science, and social studies
  • Activities grouped by grade level so you can easily find age-appropriate options
  • Tips for boosting participation, even for quiet or reluctant learners
  • Ways to build routines that reduce behavior disruptions and classroom stress

These strategies work in any online classroom, but when used in Engageli’s virtual platform, they come to life even more with shared whiteboards, live engagement indicators, and small-group tools that make class feel connected and collaborative.
