Creating Customized Educational Games: A New Way to Engage My Students

In my time teaching, I’ve noticed one thing that always gets my students excited: games. Whether it’s Hangman, Wordle, or word chain games, these activities not only make learning fun but also reinforce language skills in a way that traditional lessons sometimes can’t. Seeing how much my students enjoyed these games, I knew I wanted to bring more of that energy into my classroom. But instead of just finding games online and giving them links, I decided to take it a step further—I began creating my own.

Using different AI tools, I’ve been manually coding customized educational games tailored specifically to my students’ needs. This process has allowed me to design games that fit exactly how I believe my students can learn best. The results have been amazing.

When I introduced the first batch of games to my students, their reactions were incredible. They were amazed that these games were made just for them, and the feedback I received was overwhelmingly positive. Knowing that I created something impactful for my students is incredibly rewarding, and it motivates me to keep going.

Currently, I’m in the process of developing around 20 different games, each designed to target specific skills and keep learning enjoyable. Some of the games I’m working on include a customized matching game, a spelling bee challenge, a personalized version of Hangman, a word chain game, and many more. Each game is crafted with my students in mind, ensuring that they’re not only educational but also engaging and fun.

What I’m trying to do differently is to give more to my students—more opportunities to learn, more ways to enjoy the process, and more reasons to feel excited about their education. By creating these customized games, I’m not just teaching; I’m building a learning environment that’s dynamic, interactive, and tailored to the unique needs of my students.

I’m thrilled to see where this journey will take us, and I’m already planning more games and features to enhance our learning experience. Being able to contribute in this way makes me feel proud of the work I’m doing, and I’m so glad I can offer something truly special to the students I teach.
