Learning while playing and enjoying time as a family is becoming increasingly important. But sometimes we wonder to what extent this kind of learning while playing is actually beneficial.
Children usually like board games, but over the years we have become accustomed to seeing children in schools and institutes with state-of-the-art electronic devices, such as mobile phones, tablets, computers, etc., and when they get home they continue to be connected to the internet through a console or other online games.
These devices, instead of being used for education, are often used to play repetitive games in which they are not allowed to use their knowledge and make good use of their brain.
In the early stages of childhood, children don't know what we are doing, and when they see us with an electronic device, they do the same, even imitating us and believing it is something good.
Therefore, educational games for the family are a way to have fun with family, friends, on birthdays, rainy days… And nowadays there are many board games that can be enjoyed without the need for mobile devices that cause a certain dependency.
These types of games, in addition to fostering learning, also promote social interaction. They stimulate children through thought, expression, and action—a three-pronged approach that allows them to interact, investigate, and learn through continuous trial and error.
Learning while our children have fun playing is amazing, as it keeps children away from electronic devices that are so addictive and harmful to their health and knowledge, as well as causing a multitude of distractions.
At Educar Jugando, we teach you many techniques and games that you can do with your children while they learn and have fun. Come and ask us; we're happy to help.
