Playful: Learning through games will explore the benefits of using games and play in the classroom to encourage engaging and meaningful learning experiences. 

In this hands-on workshop teachers will participate in education games created by the Botanic Gardens and State Herbarium, and Zoos SA and hear about and practice the methods and tools that can be used to engage students in problem solving, creativity, communication and collaboration all while having fun. Teachers will also participate in a game-design workshop to create their own unique game for their classrooms.
