Good handwriting is essential for a student to develop during school days. Writing by hand involves intricate movements which activate more areas of the brain, and strengthen memory power, muscle power, and concentration span. The gamification concept was applied to improve students' handwriting in primary and middle school students. Game elements like points, badges, and prizes were used to motivate students. The research was carried out at Hyderabad Institute of Excellence, Mudgula Chitampally, Vikarabad District, Telangana State, India. A case study was used as a method in this research. Two rounds of handwriting competitions were conducted for both primary and middle school students, and qualitative and quantitative methods were used to collect data. Instant effective feedback was given to students based on their performance in the first round of the handwriting competition. The result shows that out of 240 students, 20 per cent of students got the best handwriting at the Hyderabad Institute of Excellence. Overall, 53 per cent  of students showed improvement in their handwriting.
