Putting interest on education through games

It has been a long predicament of the academe, the issue on how to make education more interesting to students. This is especially true when it comes to Math, Science, and English subjects (in our country). Students reject the very sound of these subjects. However, these subjects form the core of Information Technology Education (ITE) courses. A student must have an average academic performance so that he/she can survive any ITE course be it Computer Science, Information Technology, or Information Systems. One of the solutions being suggested is to put the lessons in a form of games. Students can play online but still learn something. But these games are still quite boring compared to RPGs. One of the many games introduced in our country is the board game called “Damath“. It’s a form of checker game but the difference is that the pieces have their corresponding numbers, and the board has different mathematical symbols. Whenever a piece gets “eaten”, the player is required to compute the result of the mathematical operation indicated by the symbol of the destination of the piece. Still, this game will be of interest to those with average and above average mental capabilities.

Through my daily surfing to the Internet, I came across this concept of teaching basketball through another form of game: BINGO. By playing BINGO, you will be able to orient yourself with the different concepts in basketball. The image below is a sample bingo card:

What if we can teach Math, Science, and English in this manner? Would it be advantageous or not?
