badges – students can show off their progress!
Give Out Unique Rewards
Reward Students with Easy Rewards

Students Show Their Knowledge Their Way
Give students options or create a playlist for students to
choose from to model their learning or understanding.

Create a World for Your Students
Instead of a unit overview, change or display the unit as
a world the students might see in a video or board
game. Label tests or quizzes as levels or checkpoints.
Have students create their own avatars that move alone
as they reach different parts.
Give Starts Instead of Points
Simplify Grades
Instead of giving points, use stars, or emojis to give
students an idea of their work or progress.
Gamify Your Class
Change Wording to Relate to Students
