Abstract

The application of the gaming approach combined with rhythm-therapy in the educational process has the potential to immerse learners in an environment where acquiring educational content becomes an exciting experience. It helps them discover and overcome challenges collectively, fosters learning, and develops critical and analytical thinking. The synergy between these two approaches contributes to the development of competencies for future educators and the formation of their comprehensive and harmonious personalities. The article explores the implementation of the "Escape Room" method as part of the gaming approach and rhythm therapy approach in successfully teaching future educators. It describes a game based on the story of Little Red Riding Hood. The impact of the storyline in the "Escape Room" model is enhanced by integrating rhythm therapy. This approach enables students to apply their knowledge to solve specific problems in untypical situations, work under pressure dictated by a specific rhythm and music.
