Fun Educational Games for Kids
Kids love to play; it’s the main way that they learn about the world. Coupled with the boundless energy and imagination that only children have, kids can (and will) play all day long.At the same time parents want to ensure that their children are learning while they play. However, many parents struggle to find educational games which can engage their children, actively stimulate their minds and teach them something new. The easy, learning based games in this collection aim to do just that.
There are six chapters in this book, containing a total of 21 games that are easy, fun and promote learning in a relaxed environment. Each of the 21 games has a section called “The Science Behind It”. This is provided as a brief explanation as to why the game is beneficial and how it helps your kids to learn.
Each chapter contains games focusing on the following skill sets:
- Language and Literacy
- Science
- Numeracy
- Patterns and Rhythms
- Life Skills and Physical Play
So the games in, say, the Life Skills chapter are designed to improve children’s social skills, their knowledge of the world at large and their academic abilities. This doesn’t mean that the games in each chapter will only aid those skillsets; each of these games would be appropriate in a few of the other chapters as well.
Most of these games can be adapted to suit different ages, abilities and group sizes. General guidelines are listed to help parents, guardians and childcare providers to recreate each educational game, but they can be adjusted easily according to your needs. You can also personalize the games for each child with little effort by including your kid’s favorite themes and color schemes.
The most important part of the games is that the kids are having fun. The learning will come naturally as the games are played, but the kids won’t maintain interest if they’re not having fun. Memories linked to strong emotions are easier to recall than those without; this means that if a child has a negative learning experience he or she will remember this when they sit down in the classroom, or begin homework. A positive learning experience will help your kids to learn in the future, and repeating the process with each of the games will help all the more.
