Different games are a great way to motivate students and provide them with emotional experience that supports the learning process. Many games, such are card games and games using dice, also help different types of learners, especially visual and haptic learners. The workshop will provide the participants with examples of such games and their use in classes, including some follow-up activities and tasks.
