Different strategies have been developed to achieve quality education at different stages of learning. Educational games involve deployment of appropriate human and non-human resources in order to acheive learning objectives which serve as instructional materials that are used to stimulate learning in a conducive academic environment. These could be in form of models, visuals or games that can help spice up learning through play. Games are designed to suit specific learning purposes, help develop skills and serve as impetus to learning. This paper discussed the necessity of games in instruction, types, videp games as learning tools, guides on how to use games and significance of games in learning among others. It is therefore imperative that games should be encouraged to enhance learning under teachers' or parents' guidance
