For the elders and two other special people, here is what we've got!

The Reason I Use Games

When studying for a big test, it has been proven that you can learn words through creating mental pictures or representations of words. Because when remembering, your brain is connecting chemicals to recollect everything you studied. Think of it as a bridge to an island. By memorizing just the words, you create one bridge for each word. By attaching pictures, memories, sounds, or smells to each word, you create a second or third bridge to the same thing. In case your brain cannot remember through bridge 1, bridge 2 is still there.

Now, I say all this just to prove my point. I can teach a whole lesson and it can go in one ear then out the other., but when I throw in a second bridge (a game related to a topic), it brings practical application and a second bridge to remember. Examples work well also, but they are not personal. People remember when you paint a picture and they fill in the scenery. This is why I never pointlessly throw games into my lessons to have fun.

Learning is a fun experience, teaching however is the problem. Therefore, I aim to make the teaching of God's word as fun as possible. I never try to alter the truth, nor do I ever take verses out of context. My class knows there is punishment for wrong. But I try to make them ask why. To make it your own faith, you have to ask why and answer it yourself, I just attempt to guide others to the right answer.
