Each teacher, we are convinced of this, is looking for the most effective strategies for teaching. The result of implementing effective strategies translates into increased motivation among students through a very pleasant learning situation in order to make the students to exclaim at the end of the seminar "Yes! We want more." This exclamation is met when children participate in very enjoyable and exciting games. Every game is an activity that generates pleasure and joy, satisfaction or dissatisfaction; it is a stimulus for creative activity. Although it is a mean of relaxation and fun, the game has important educational functions. It contributes trough logically content to intellectual development, following the progress in the ever changing environmental conditions of play. The integration of the didactic game into seminar strategies will determine the students to participate with their whole personality. The didactic game develops the spirit of observation, attention, imagination, divergent thinking and critical thinking. It will cause students to subordinate personal interests to the interests of the group. Thus, based on the idea that in the physical education lesson the games (dynamic games) influence all students to be active and motivated, which solve at a high percentage the proposed tasks for that lesson, we thought that converting a motion game into didactic game can motivate students to engage in the activity proposed at seminar. The result was to transform the dynamic game "Swamp" into didactic game. We managed to apply this strategy on several groups and the answer from our students was "Yes! We want more." This article presents all the details of this transformation. This specific activity was very successful with all groups to which we applied this strategy. Also, preparing for this kind of activity does not require large time resources. We recommend everyone to try at least once, this didactic game.
