What is Minecraft? I am sure you all know it. And me not;)))
To tell you the truth, I knew NOTHING of it. I heard such a word, I knew it was a game, and that's all.
BUT I have a son of 8 years....aaaaand...now I know everything about Minecraft:)) Ok-ok, not everything, of course, but at least I do know what it is, and how to play it!;))
It's my son's new passion.
Where has it come from? Oh...from his friends...socialization makes its "task"...:)
All people around worry how an unschooling boy will be socialized..
Don't worry, guys, he has no problem with it, and all mess that covers modern kids touch my boy, but much less, much much less. Thanks God.
So time of Spider man passed (he was his passion not long ago, he had clothes with him, bags with him, etc). Now it's time of Minecraft:))
At first, I was against it very much. In general I don't support PC games passion and a tablet games playing (he has no his own smartphone still, it's our decision). But my hubby is a great experienced player of all possible games. Not because he is an addicted player, but because he was a game developer for a long time, and he had to know all games features.And he said Minecradt is not a stupid game, it's a strategy that can teach many useful things. I trust his choice. He is not against it, and we let our boy has his choice and his hobbies.
So now he plays Minecraft about 30-40 min per day, but it's not enough for him:) He buys magazines and books that tell how to play the game and how to get cool tips.
We bough such a magazine, and I was surprised that the describtion of the game was really interesting! it's a real Universe, many worlds that you can build by yourself. Really magnetic task for kids!
But in the magazine there was some paper games as well. For example, a reader can make his own handmade paper Minecraft character.
It wasn't easy. The paper was too thin, it was hard to stick all parts together....My patience was over in 30 min, But my son continued....and in 15 min more he succeed! I was surprised!
It will not live long, it's really too thin, but it was his goal to make this toy, and he did it;)
And you know what did he say to me?
- Mom, you failed because you had no desire to have such a toy. I had such a desire, and I won.
He was right;) My little wise boy;)
Guys, what can you say about this game?
Do you like it?
Do you play it?
