Keeping the Whole Class Involved During a Learning Game
When one child plays in front of the camera, the rest of the class still needs a reason to think. A clear participation routine can make each question useful beyond the current player's turn.
The aim is to give children a manageable way to work with the question while preserving independent answers when assessment is the goal.
Try “think, wait, discuss”
Before a practice round, ask everyone to work out an answer privately. Let the player respond, then choose an occasional question for discussion.
Ask, “How did you decide?” or “Did anyone use another method?” Children have a reason to think before seeing the result, and the discussion connects the answer with a process.
You do not need to pause after every question. One useful explanation can bring a round together.
Give teams simple roles
During team practice, one child can control the response while another explains the team's choice. Other children can check the reasoning or suggest an alternative.
Rotate roles across rounds. This helps prevent a confident player from making every decision and gives quieter children a defined way to contribute.
Use classroom responses during shared practice
Children can show a quantity with fingers, discuss with a partner or use classroom materials after a question. Choose a response that fits the learning goal and the space available.
These responses support participation even when they are not individually recorded by the platform. The teacher can use occasional discussion to hear how children are thinking.
Keep individual assessment independent
When the purpose is to assess the player, ask classmates to keep answers to themselves. Avoid visible signals, shouted hints or partner discussion before the response.
Bring selected questions back for discussion afterwards. This keeps the individual result interpretable while allowing the class to learn from the activity.
Make participation comfortable
Give children time to think and avoid treating loudness or speed as evidence of understanding. Use predictable turns and suitable response methods.
End with a short shared question: “What did we practise today?” Eduzo's reports can support the learning follow-up, while the classroom routine keeps children involved between turns.
Keep learning. Keep moving.
