Game-based learning uses principles of gaming to provide an educational approach. It can use actual physical or digital games as educational tools. Gamification adds game elements like points and badges to classroom learning to make it more engaging. Game-based learning promotes active and enjoyable learning while providing feedback and measuring progress. It encourages problem-solving and critical thinking skills. Examples include board, card, puzzle, simulation, and mobile games. While development costs and technology barriers exist, game-based learning offers engaging ways to improve cognitive skills and motivation for students.

2. Introduction
• Game-based learning is an educational approach
that uses the principles of gaming.
Uses actual games as
educational tools
It can be physical or digital

6. Gamification
Adding game-like elements (points, badges, etc.) to non-

them more engaging.
Aims to enhance motivation, engagement, and participation.
Does not create new games but integrates game elements
into existing systems.

7. Advantages of game based learning
• Promotes active learning
• Simulate real-world scenarios
• Prepares students for the modern, technology-driven
workforce
• Enjoyable and interactive nature
• games provides intrinsic motivation for learners

8. Advantages of game based learning(Cont..)
• Track and measure learners' progress
• Encourages critical thinking and problem-solving
skills
• Provide instant feedback
.
• Tailoring to Individual Pace

9. Type of game-based learning approach
Card games (e.g., math-themed "War"),
board games (e.g., chess)
Quiz, mobile based applications
simulation games (e.g., Shadow Game),
word games (e.g., Scrabble),
puzzle games (e.g., Sudoku, jigsaw puzzles)
video games (e.g., minecraft)

In "Cytosis: A Cell Biology
Board Game," players collect
resources, build cell
components, and score points
by strategically placing
different organelles of the cell
on board. The game involves
resource management,
building structures, achieving
goals, and adapting to event
cards. The player with the most
points at the end wins.
