Today’s kids seem obsessed with technology, and although I love gadgets and technology, with all the benefits it can bring. I feel like we’ve lost something when our kids just play computer games.
Each of my 3 kids has a ds lite and I often see them all sitting alone, playing games on their individual game consoles. You see, I’m just as guilty as everyone else. When I was growing up, and yes, that makes me look old, I remember very little of my childhood that was not related to games, sitting at Christmas, for example, with my family playing cards, trivial activities, monopoly, etc. I believe that playing is the way children learn, develop life skills by participating and interacting with others.
Turn-based games for kids aren’t just fun, they’re educational on many levels, including social and economic.
Children learn to wait to take a turn, win and lose, along with cooperation and economics (with monopoly in mind and handling money), all the time while having fun. Games come and go, and new games appear, while classics are renewed year after year with new themes and are always popular.
Children’s games are made to stretch the mind of the child and even the parents at times, without frustrating the child and taking him away from the game, making learning enjoyable. Most of the games for kids are also quite fun to play with mom or dad, and the family games are designed to entertain both children and adults.
If you are looking for something to bring a family together, then you can’t go wrong with any kind of board game. While playing games, a family can often get lost in the game for hours on end.
If you don’t know what to buy a child as a gift, you could do worse than buying a board game. I think it is one of the best gifts you can give, because it brings friends and family together and can provide more hours of fun than any book, DVD, or CD you can find. A board game is a team-building exercise (or a team-splitting exercise if you’ve been sitting around our table many hot nights) that you can’t ignore. It is a way of exercising the mind and building social skills.
If you sit down and examine the rules and design of most games, they all have one characteristic in common, you will see that they are reflected in everyday life. Whether we are playing cards with a card game that is teaching us to take turns, for example, exercising the mind to keep it alert and helping with learning difficulties, matching numbers and pictures, or trivial activities with training of teams, knowledge learning and strategy development.
Quality educational games are very attractive to most people; Children rarely know that they are learning valuable skills, which makes this a fantastic way to learn, as information and skills learned that way, in my opinion, stick in the mind much better than when rules and regulations. education are forced.
Today’s games for kids are well thought out, fun, and compete well with the lure of the solitaire video game, if only we give them a chance.
