Gamification in PE That Actually Works
About the Free Webinar:
Speakers: Dr. Aaron Beighle and Collin Brooks
Date: Thursday, February 11, 2026
Time: 5:00 pm / 6:00 pm CT
Webinar Description:
Join host Aaron Beighle for a high-energy PE Huddle conversation with guest Collin Brooks that cuts through the hype and gets real about gamification that actually works. Together, they’ll unpack what gamification is (and what it isn’t), why “making it a game” isn’t the same as increasing learning, and how smart game elements like badges, quests, goal setting, and leveling up can boost engagement without turning your gym into noise.
You’ll hear how these strategies connect to what we all want more of in PE: student ownership, motivation, meaningful effort, and a class culture that supports every learner.
