4 the reason why children like to play games:
1. Game is fun!
Everyone must agree with this. Especially children. Who says they don't experience the same fatigue as you who work? Have you seen the school assignment now?
In fact, many parents also complained about the difficulty of the material of current school children when they saw their homework (homework). Not infrequently they also register their children in tutoring institutions to provide additional lessons so that children can understand the material in their school properly.
Imagine, how tiring is the child's brain? It is not wrong if children consider the game world more interesting and fun than the real world with such routines.
2. Dynamic and challenging
Children who like to play games usually like challenges. Without realizing it, this also trains their creativity in solving problems. The higher the level of the game, the more challenged he will be to complete it.
We will not find a child who feels sad when he fails to complete the mission in his game. Instead, they will try again to solve the challenge.
3. Learn something
Not just entertainment, playing games can also be used as a method of learning about something.
For example, in older games like Tamago-chi, children will learn to develop a sense of affection and responsibility, then puzzle games that can help their thinking in solving problems and can also be used as a means for children to learn to read.
4. Find talent and ideals
Not infrequently when children grow up, it is difficult to determine their future. Does he want to be a doctor? pilot? designer? Or the rider? Through games, usually since childhood they have played roles as they wish.
They will feel powerful in carrying out the challenge. Whether it's designing a house, flying a plane, or driving a race car. For example, a racing simulator game, this game can help children to drive well and reckless calculations.
In fact, currently international racers are also much sought after through racing simulator games competitions. That way, the game can also help children to find their talents and ideals.
However, keep in mind that playing games also has a limit. Do not let children get addicted to games and forget about their role in the real world. Pay attention to the age of the child if you want to allow him to play the game, choose the game that suits his age.
Playing games is not only seen from the negative side. Positively, games also help children practice their fine motor power, develop their imagination, practice the use of logic in problem solving, and are able to improve their foreign language skills in a fun way.
