 Why do you play games in the lab?
Did you know that students often learn better when physical activity is 
added to the class? The 
Language Arts Lab is currently trying an experiment where students develop 
games that 
incorporate questions into physical games. We have been outside playing 
HORSE or on their 
skateboards and inside playing Clue-like games. So far it is a fun 
experiment that we want to 
continue.
