In January we return to the topic of reading and want to draw your attention to literature games. Seppo games don’t always need to be about subjects that have clear answers, but you can also challenge players to really analyse and reflect. We at Seppo are big fans of reading games. We also think that for example substituting that usual essay about a novel read in English class with a Seppo game, offers the pupils a great way to make their way through the book.
Bring on December and those long days right before the holidays! How about spicing up your lessons and making seppo games for the pupils to revise subjects and topics taught during the autumn period?
