There is ample research to show that playing board games can help children master new skills and introduce them to advanced concepts. For example:
- Dice rolls, moving tokens and accruing point’s in-game can teach children the basics of numbers and counting, as well as spatial awareness.
- Reading cards and names on the board can help children’s literacy grow.
- Bright, bold and colourful games can give children a greater awareness of a range of colours and shades, as well as improving visual perception.
- Games with tactical elements that require forward-planning can improve children’s mental acuity, logic development and strategic thinking.
- Playing games with others teaches children to communicate, share and negotiate effectively.
- Games with movable tokens and pieces can help with hand-eye co-ordination, as well as manual dexterity.
