Early Developement:
Children love playing games, but games provide more than entertainment and a way to pass the time.
They also help kids mature and grow in various ways. Though games are fun, playing games with
children provide more benefits than simple entertainment, particularly when parents play games
together with their children. Below are some of the many benefits children gain from playing games
with their parents, siblings and peers.
Games Teach Children Patience, Sharing and Good Sportsmanship
It's not unusual for young children to act impulsively, interrupt, and demand attention. Games are one
way for children to get these normal but undesirable impulses under control. For example, games teach
the concept of taking turns and allowing attention to be on others at times.
Although it is good to start with short and simple games, games teach patience while children wait for
their turn and wait for the end of the game before they or another player can be declared the winner.
Children can learn to lose graciously through playing games. They can be taught to congratulate the
winning player and to rejoice in the success of another person. They can also learn not to gloat when
they win and can be taught to express appreciation regardless of who wins.
Games Teach Motor Skills, Listening Skills and Concentration
Games help children develop both fine and gross motor skills. For example, young children develop fine
motor skills when they handle playing cards, pick up small game pieces and move them around the
board, stack and assemble parts and so on.
