Using Games For Assessments: Kaylee Williamson

I am very interested in using games as an assessment tool because, in a secondary classroom setting, they are not very common. What I have learned is that there are many types of games that can be adapted to assess learning, and that they do not have to be complicated. That you can adapt a game or make a completely new one. A version of this I have seen is with a card game called Super Fight. This is a game in which two cards with specific attributes/skills/abilities are chosen to create a villain/hero, and students have to debate which would win in a fight. This is a simple game that can be used to assess students' oral communication, argumentative, and related skills. I want to implement more games as assessment tools in my teaching style because students learn best when they are having fun.
