Abstract

The text presents three specific didactic games for teaching physics, tested on elementary school, high school, and teacher training students: Divočákovo bludiště (Wild Boar's Maze) for practicing length unit conversions, Kvarteto fyzici (Physicists Quartet) for working with physicists and their discoveries, and Detektivka (Detective Story), in which students solve a set of physics problems by searching for a murderer. The authors describe the rules, organizational requirements, possible variations, and available templates, and summarize student feedback, according to which the games increase motivation, activity, and long-term concentration in physics lessons.
