What’s the difference between a game and an activity?
Within the context of education, what is the difference between a game and an activity?
I teach English as a Second language, and I’m hard pressed trying to define the two. Games in some textbooks are labeled activities and vise versa.

A game is an activity, but an activity is not necessarily a game. A game has a competitive element but an activity may or may not.

They can interchange, but some go in only one category. An activity can be something you learn without winning/ losing being part of it. A game leads to a result. Hope that helps.
Games – chess, wordsearch etc
Activities – Arts and crafts where you learn a skill.
P.S A lot of people who write books are not infallable when it comes to accurate use of language. (especially as language is always evolving and meanings change)

A game usually has a winner, an activity is just something to be enjoyed alone or in a group.
