Everything from simple &amp;#8220;collect 10 stamps, get a free coffee&amp;#8221; to the more sophisticated programs with big national chains that give incentives or unlock special offers by getting to a different &amp;#8220;level&amp;#8221;. These can push you to buy just a &lt;strong&gt;little bit&lt;/strong&gt; more or &lt;strong&gt;more often&lt;/strong&gt; than you would otherwise. (Supermarkets, Kohl&amp;#8217;s Cash, CVS Extrabucks, etc.)&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Fitness apps often use multiple kinds of achievement-based gamification, to hook different kinds of people. Leaderboards, badges, and &amp;#8220;personal best&amp;#8221; tracking. They may include rewards or social collaboration as well. (We discuss Apple Fitness, Peloton. Company fitness challenges often are rewards-based.)&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Duolingo also uses achievements (streak-tracking!), while having obvious progress-based elements as well.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Lose It! rewards you for &amp;#8220;streaks&amp;#8221; as well &amp;#8211; including simply tracking your calories every day, even if you don&amp;#8217;t meet your other goals!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;We think good gamification gives you a &lt;strong&gt;framework&lt;/strong&gt; to work on your goals as well as the &lt;strong&gt;incentives&lt;/strong&gt; to improve.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3 class="wp-block-heading"&gt;What does this mean for our families &amp;amp; our kids?&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;p&gt;We think of two meta-examples. The 5&amp;#215;5 challenge (picking 5 games to play at least 5 times). Also the balancing B-mods and &amp;#8220;leveling up&amp;#8221; from &lt;a href="https://boardgamesforallages.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;Board Games For All Ages&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Can we bring elements we like in board gaming to other behaviors we want to encourage?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Gamification can be GOOD when it helps shore up existing motivation. But it&amp;#8217;s not good when it is (a) the only motivation or (b) encouraging unintended behavior.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Be wary of using gamification to &lt;strong&gt;substitute&lt;/strong&gt; for real motivation!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;We describe using &amp;#8220;chore cards&amp;#8221; as a type of gamification. Kids removed the cards when done, kind of like an achievement system in reverse (having an empty line was the goal) &amp;#8211; and it &amp;#8220;unlocked&amp;#8221; their screen time for the day.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I feel like learning to read should naturally feel progress-based. As you improve, you get more opportunities to read what you want! Some schools make it too achievement-ish if they focus on &amp;#8220;reading levels&amp;#8221; rather than the fun of reading.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Don&amp;#8217;t be tempted to gamify everything and turn it into too much pressure on your kids! We&amp;#8217;ve seen this in sports, academic achievement (GPA/grades), and other competitions. It&amp;#8217;s okay not to be the best at everything!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;We share our experience with &lt;em&gt;Marvel Puzzle Quest&lt;/em&gt;, which was a little &lt;strong&gt;too&lt;/strong&gt; good at motivating us to play.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h2 class="wp-block-heading"&gt;1:06:00 New Backtalk Question&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;figure class="wp-block-image size-full"&gt;&lt;img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="700" height="350" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.thefamilygamers.com/wp-content/uploads/Backtalk_gamification.jpg?resize=700%2C350&amp;#038;ssl=1" alt="Backtalk - Have you tried gamifying anything?" class="wp-image-61916" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.thefamilygamers.com/wp-content/uploads/Backtalk_gamification.jpg?w=700&amp;amp;ssl=1 700w, https://i0.wp.com/www.thefamilygamers.com/wp-content/uploads/Backtalk_gamification.jpg?resize=300%2C150&amp;amp;ssl=1 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt; &lt;p&gt;Have you ever gamified anything at home that would otherwise just normally be a part of life?
