One challenge in making lessons more playful is ensuring that activities stay focused on learning goals. I’ve addressed this by designing games and creative tasks that directly connect to the curriculum, so play and purpose go hand in hand. As for balancing structure with creativity, I believe we’re making good progress — many classrooms are now blending clear objectives with imaginative approaches, giving students the best of both worlds. It’s encouraging to see education moving toward a more engaging and balanced model!
