After he finished counting to 100,
child says “Ready or not, here I come” and then he must search for
other players. He must be very careful. Once he finds a player hiding, he must run back to
home tree and shout his name. He must be vigilant so that he can hear any sound that might indicate
position of
other players.
The players who are already spotted must not tell where
others are hiding. This too educates children to use fair play.
The first player spotted is
next one to count to 100.
You’d never think that hide and seek, one of
most common games in childhood, could be so educational, right? Yes, it is a very educational game. And it’s not
only one. Pick any game you liked playing when you were a child, and analyze its rules, as I did above. You’ll be amazed.
Hide and Seek is oriented mainly towards developing fair play and physical skills.
Here’s another example of educational child game that helps developing more advanced skills: Monopoly.
I won’t bore you with its rules. This game introduces your child into
basics of modern business life. Acquiring high value properties, negotiation, taxes. Yup! This game educates your child to become
biggest businessperson on
Wall Street. Monopoly has rules that are more complex and it requires greater concentration. Specific jargon and names that mean much to
entrepreneurs get your child closer
world of business.
Toys are amongst
first objects a child gets in contact. Understanding how things work is a direct result of solving problems with toys like "Why this fits there?", "Does that fit here?", "How big is that?". Toys help your child learn to grab, pull, push, synchronize
movement of
head with that of
hand.
Toys are indispensable when playing. Playing with a great variety of educational child toys helps your child develop his imagination, understand that different objects have different properties, and learn how to combine them to create other interesting objects.
