There is a need to inculcate human factor in learning activities for 21st century children. This is a desktop review analysing social factors in gamification, gamification elements effecting social behaviours, and gamifying human behaviours. The analysis leads towards identification of learning activities affecting social behaviour, components for gamifying social behaviour, and gamifying social factors which are critical for affecting learning social behaviours among children. The results lead towards the development of a human-factored model for educating positive social behaviour amongst children. Results from this study are expected to guide the development of technological-supported educational applications that encourage inculcation of prosocial behaviour for 21st century children. Future educational tools are expected to support Sustainability Development Goal 4: provision of quality education to all.
