If you thought that playing video games is bad for your children, it is time that you changed your opinion. Research has been showing that playing video games helps develop various skills in children and improves their co-ordination as well as reflexes. This should make all parents, teachers and elders happy. But then finding educational games is not easy.
If you are spending money on buying a video game, you have got to be sure that your child is interested and likes the game. It shouldn't be that you pay over 40$ and your child doesn't bother to play it at home at all.
If you were to search on the internet, you can get details of some of the best games and choose the one that suits your child's needs and interest. Leapfrog is one of the best educational games providers who have games to teach children basic mathematics, phonics, as well as teach alphabets, teach them about animals, to recognize shapes and colors etc. They have over 40 games on offer on their handheld system which is worthwhile watching.
It is very convenient for you to go in for a handheld system that can be connected to your TV where in the entire TV can be used as a part of the game console monitor. When your TV is in your living room, you will be able to let your kid play while keeping an eye on him as you do your jobs.
Apart from the console based games, you can also look at computer based games. We would advise you to check out the series called Jumpstart produced and promoted by a Company called Knowledge Adventure. The series are fun for children as they contain lots of puzzles, games and adventure based activities that keep the children engaged.
The package doesn't end with just games. It allows you to record and monitor the performance of the player so that you are able to track the progress your child has made in terms of learning as well as improving his skills. This is not all you get a lot of DVDs and work books which the child can further explore.
Educational games are available in most of the shops that you frequent. You can either browse through them at your local book store or at the children's toy mart. They are also available in the computer and electronic stores as well as shops selling computer and video games exclusively. Better still watch out for them in the auction sites online and pick up a good bargain.
Now day's parents encourage the children to play educational games and do not think that it hampers their children. Instead they realize the benefit there lies in imparting education to the children while combining it with activity.
