Wow, this is exhaustive and detailed. And integrating play into learning is a sure way to motivate learners. From your post, i have learnt that even the seemingly dull and apathetic ones in class may shine bright and find the urge to learn.

I also learnt that in spite of the plethora of benefits, they exists danger zones which they teacher must be beware of. I am glad you eliminated most of this during your lesson delivery.

As a matter of fact, this is really worth researching. Congratulations on getting on the pathways towards solving an educational problem.
