Message: Publication describes the importance of using games in chemistry teaching as an important alternative method and summarizes the results of previous studies focused on this topic. Games are very effective method for increasing students’ interest and therefore motivation for chemistry. In article are some new educational games as
Golden four, Hess points competition, Six bangs to box etc. Publication shows game inclusion in chemistry teaching is as an effective way how to increase nor only students’ motivation, but teachers motivation as well and from this point students and teachers evaluated game positively, they enjoyed the game. I think publication is relevant and very useful.

Authors present some new educational games. There were mentioned games like \"Golden four\", Hess points competition, Six bangs to box and other. These games were tested by high school students and their teachers. Teachers said, that the curriculum was affirmated easier and more quickly through the games. Students as well as teachers enjoyed the games.
I am most interested in the game named Chemical domino. It is focused on practicing the chemical terminology. The players put together the names and formulas of chemicals.
In my opinion, game inclusion in chemistry teaching is as an effective way how to increase students’ motivation, withal it is an expensive method.
I consider the article as a useful and I believe it will lead to enrichment of students that undergo such teaching.
National Reports on successful experiences to promote lifelong learning for chemistry The national reports on chemistry successful experiences to promote lifelong learning for chemistry are now available on the related section of the project portal. The reports presents examples of successful experiences in the partner countries and the results of testing of ICT resources with science teachers.
