The same way we exercise our bodies it is good to exercise our minds. Kids are fortunate to have minds and bodies that are already in perfect working order. But, the children who exercise maintain their great health.
The same goes for their growing minds. Children can learn faster and remember more than adults and the kids who exercise their minds will have better brain power throughout their lives.
One of the best ways for kids to stretch their mental muscles is through playing games. Strategy games are great for reasoning skills and memorization. Also interacting with others, and learning good sportsmanship, is great for improving social skills. When I was young popular games were checkers, Stratego, and Monopoly.
Never the less, this game has a lot of appeal to kids and will help develop, their mind power, and other skills. For instance the actual game itself is a strategy game. When matched against opponents, strategy has to be used to play the correct gate cards to get the highest score.
But it is also a game of skill. The balls have to be rolled just right in order to land on, and open on, the card you just played. This is actually harder than it looks and takes skill and practice.
The game also helps with social skills because when the kids play they are interacting with each other, and it is usually played for keeps so if your creature loses the match it now belongs to the winner.
Which also throws in some healthy competition, plus the balls are also fun to collect. This game really offers the whole package of strategy, skill, competition, collecting, and using the imagination.
Games that help kids interact and learn strategy can only increase their mind power and social skills. Playing can make learning easy and games are the perfect resource.
Whatever activity your child enjoys, encouraging healthy, play will help them build strong minds and bodies, and give them a step up in life.
