This infographic explains why games should be added in the educational syllabi. Nowadays, children are grown up in an environment where they develop a continuous sense of affiliation with the modern technology and gadgets; therefore, whenever children see such things, they feel at home with them. On the other hand, if children are given formal books at very early age, not only this would be troublesome for them, but it will also reduce their learning to a minimum because they aren’t accustomed to learning from books. The most important thing that we need to consider is that games are user-friendly educational technology which children love. Their familiarity with the games urges them more and more to play games.
It is not just a blind belief that games
help children in their educational pursuits, but is also proved by different
research. One prominent among them is the research made by Paul Howard Jones,
who discovered that how exactly games help children to increase their
creativity. The most important reason behind this is that games increase the
level of dopamine in the brain, and dopamine is associated with creativity.
Dopamine is also associated with making connections between neurons in our
brains. Thus, the stronger the connections are, the easier it will be for us to
remember things. The second important attribute of dopamine is that it
increases our concentration level. Thus once all these connections are created
in the brain, they make the physical basis for learning.
Another important reason why games
should be added in the educational syllabus is that games motivate children. It
is an acknowledged fact that we do things efficiently that we like because we
are motivated by our desire. In a similar manner, as children are motivated by
games, this motivation can be channelized in a positive manner for learning.
“When students will play games, they will be making different actions, and if
some action goes wrong, they will develop the ability to accept things instead
of blaming others or throwing accusations at others,” says Kyle Ward who works
at Game
Period. Thus, games, in the longer run,
will make them responsible persons.
Games are also responsible for the skill
development in children: for instance, when children play games, they develop
many important skills like problem-solving,
collaboration, negotiation, and communication. All these skills are very
important for their practical lives. There are different types of games
available for children of different ages.
