Games

offer more than fun The games that cildren play offer more than just fun and a way to keep active youngsters occupied and out of a parent’s hair. The whole concept of card and board games is a learning process for youngsters, whether the game is about following instructions or making up new sets of rules. • Games have distinct goals, said Sadie Grimmett, a developmental psychologist with Indiana University’s School of Education. And while players attempt to reach those goals, they can have fun along the way. Playing games allows children to learn a particular set of rules or lets them make up their own rules, something they will do especially if those readymade are too complicated. “Children will learn at some point that they can change the rules,” Grimmett said. “And the rules they establish are constructed according to society’s norms.” Children’s card and board games designed to promote some sort of learning hhve beep around for a long time. One of the games used as an educational tool in the 1640 s was created to interest a young Louis XIV in his studies of history, geography and mythology. Even though children can and do learn from games, it is important, Grimmett said, that games not become a forced substitute for formal learning. Games should be fun and not just instructional. “Flash cards usually are not a great deal of fun,” Grimmett said. “They are not much different from an intricate videogame. It’s still instructional. The child tries to perform just to please someone.” However, with games such as checkers or some versions of Nintendo, Grimmett said, children learn strategy and problem solving and have fun at the same lime. Grimmett suggests that children be encouraged to make up their own games and rules. ‘ ‘The more uses for a game, the more valuable it becomes in its variety of options,” she said. “Varying the rules is creativity and allows the child to be in control.” Parents should take the game lead from the children and wait to be invited to participate. Board games should be a part of the child’s activities at least by the age of four, Grimmett says. But if games are introduced simply to press toward achievement, they may cause the child to become tense about that and possibly all achievement. It is far more important, she said, for children to be able to set their own achievement pace and to keep some play in their lives. Children like to be in control, Grimmett said, and allowing a child to direct what he wants to do in relation to games has great benefits. It allows the child to feel good about himself and bolsters his self-esteem. Games

allow children to learn taht sometimes they come out ahead as a winner and sometimes they don’t, Grimmett said. Such realizations eliminate the possibility to trauma if the child doesn’t win. - Grimmett says that by the third grade, children should be playing games that involve strategy - games where there are several possible outcomes. Allowing the child to help choose a game from a store is advisable. It’s important that the game be something that the child likes. But purchasing games is not always necessary. Parents should enouragd children to create their own games, and, if invited to participate, use the opportunity as a family focal point, Grimmett said. Playing games gives a family the opportunity to communicate about issues and to talk about the day’s events. With changing family lifestyles, there often is no “family meal,” no gathering of the family members to exchange experiences and opinions. Board or card games offer a chance for some family togetherness.
