Tell me and I’ll forget. Show me and I’ll remember.
Involve me and I’ll understand.
– Confucius
Remember when you were in school? Did you learn the most from the interminable desk-bound subjects you had no interest in and where the teacher droned on and on, or the hands-on subjects and field trips that involved all the senses?
How many of us learned more about handling money from playing ‘shops’ or Monopoly than we ever did from a maths book.
Games are multi-sensory and offer something for everyone irrespective of a person’s learning style. Most of all, games are fun.
