Abstract: The purpose of this paper was to review related studies on the use of games in education and present a lesson model for integrating a game, Civilizations III, in history lessons. The review summarized topics that address the impact of video games on academic performance, student self-esteem, aggressive behavior, student motivation, and ways in which games may be properly implemented to promote classroom learning. Based on previous research findings, a lesson model for integrating games in history lessons was suggested.
