This article examines the transformative role of interactive games in contemporary education through a humanities lens. It considers the multidimensional impact of play—from its cognitive and emotional effects to its capacity to foster cooperation and critical thinking. Through examples drawn from classroom experience and pedagogical tools like Kahoot! and Quizizz, the article illuminates how interactive games do more than entertain—they build community, boost motivation, and make learning more accessible. It also addresses the ethical use of games and proposes equitable strategies for teachers working with limited resources. Ultimately, the article argues that when integrated thoughtfully, interactive games are not just enhancements, but vital instruments for creating meaningful and humane educational experiences.
