Minecraft in Schools


When kids play games in school it sounds like it would be the most coolest afternoon ever. More schools are using Minecraft to help students learn. Over 200 schools in the UK are using it!
Minecraft is a game of blocks and you have to build homes, giant buildings and even your own islands to protect yourself from the dangers of the night. Some students play the game and then they write stories based off their experience of the game. Teachers using the game say it can help get kids who don’t like books to do more reading and writing. They can learn about history by building copies of ancient buildings, and learn maths by figuring out exactly what they need to build them.
Is your school using games, especially Minecraft, during lessons?

I really wish mine was.=)

  1. Hi Damien. I agree with you. Having to play Minecraft in schools will be cool but if Minecraft is played in schools are there any other games that are played in schools?
