It illustrates how game play can be developed through applying learning theory to practice, exemplified by case studies taken from a variety of international contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book begins by applying prominent learning theories, in particular the use of games to nurture natural curiosity, problem solving and creativity. It then looks at the effect of playful learning upon individual students and groups. Motivation, engagement and the development of self-esteem are explored alongside social skills such as team working, oracy, communication, motor skills and emotional intelligence. Separate chapters outline the practical use of different types of games including digital, mixed media, physical and active learning and live games, discussing the advantages and disadvantages of each within a teaching and learning context. Finally, consideration is given to how game-based learning and gamification can be used to promote library resources and services for impact and how collaboration on this approach with subject teachers, senior leadership teams and the wider community, including parents can be beneficial.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten in a comprehensive but accessible manner, \u003ci\u003ePlaying Games in the School Library\u003c\/i\u003e will give readers a means of engaging with distance learning, as well as providing a more challenging environment within their physical space.
