With fixed rules, card games, dice games and board games are clear and defined activities without major negotiation with others. Many children find it a relief to immerse themselves in a game with clear rules as a change from wild and free play with friends at kindergarten or school.

In addition, playing a game gives your child an opportunity to practise other important skills, such as losing. We recommend not letting your child win every single time you play. Teach your children to handle losing a game in a safe environment with you. This helps make children robust and resilient, which will benefit them later in life when they have to handle things on their own and you can no longer shield them from defeat and disappointment.

Your child uses lots of different skills in the classroom, and every day they're learning new social, academic, physical, and mental skills all at once. Practising one or two academic skills in a calm setting with you at home can make school a better experience for your child.

With puzzles, educational games, and other kinds of playful learning activities, your child can gradually improve their skills in number recognition, logical reasoning, small multiplication tables, writing, and other academic skills.

Maybe you have the kind of child who simply can’t get enough of educational play and wants to have more letters, logic, and numbers at home. Or maybe your child hasn’t started school yet but just can’t wait to get started and join the big kids. Keep school-related toys around at home, so your child is introduced to fun, playful learning and can practise whenever they want.
