Therefore, teachers must always invest a lot of their time and effort in building interesting lesson plans. One of the ways of creating such lesson plans is using games in teaching process. Thanks to multimedia, teachers themselves can design competitive and challenging games that make students feel fun when engaging in their learning activities.
