Didactic games play a crucial role in interactive lessons by enhancing student engagement, motivation, and learning outcomes. These games create an enjoyable and dynamic learning environment, allowing students to actively participate in their learning process. They encourage critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration, making complex concepts more accessible and memorable. Didactic games also offer opportunities for differentiated learning, catering to various learning styles and abilities. Integrating games into lessons fosters a positive atmosphere where students are more likely to retain information and develop practical skills. In this way, didactic games serve as powerful educational tools that promote both cognitive and social development.
