Educational
games are those games which are designed to give
the child knowledge about various subjects, expand on concepts, aid in
understanding a historical event or any other such educational activity in
course of play. Educational games for
kids are broadly classified into three categories - video, card and board
games.
Card
games
Card games are one type of educational games which uses playing cards as the main
playing device. There are innumerable card games and some games have more than
one type of playing method like poker for instance. Card games follow a set of
rules which varies widely from region to region. Card games teach the players
to follow rules and use reasoning and analytical skills. It is a good game to
hone the logical skills of the children.
Board
games
Board games uses a squared pre -marked
surface which is termed as board and involves moving of coins or pieces on this
surface to win the game. As with any game this too involves a set of rules and
the victory depends on both luck (like getting the correct number on the dice)
and strategy. Board games are the perfect educational
games for kids as most of the time they involve using strategies to win a
battle or a similar situation through collecting points, counter strategies and
sometimes even involve team efforts. It has all the necessary education for a
young kid by way of inducing him to think of a counter for every opposition he
faces and how use of strategy and correct planning can turn a losing position
to a winning position. It also helps him learn how to manoeuvre his given
resources and get the best out of them. It will help him in real life to use
his natural abilities to full effect.
There are many varieties of board games.
They sometimes come with no specific theme like the checkers and sometimes they
have an inherent theme and a story line like with Cluedo. Games like tic-tac-toe follow simple rules and
there are also games which have a vivid game description like the dungeons and
dragons. The time required for the child to learn or master a game varies
widely. The number of rules generally does not determine the time required for
learning the game. For example chess, one of the most useful educational games, has simple set of rules but has profound
strategies.
