Brainteaser games for kids are a fun way to learn and practice math and logic skills, critical thinking skills, and language skills. Students solve puzzles, search for hidden pictures, learn fun facts, master mazes, and solve whodunit mysteries. Students in our lab are learning how to take turns, collaborate, be patient, work in groups, problem solve, ( all lifelong skills), through fun and play.
Should games be used as a primary teaching method in schools? Learning should be fun. We should want to learn rather than be forced to learn. Our current method of teaching children however is very rarely fun. Indeed, it seems to push children away from wanting to learn, rather than drawing them to it.
This is why using games in learning makes sense. Whether it's video games, board games, or card games, playing a game requires a certain amount of skill. Learning a new game requires procedural memory and processing ability. Many games require strategy and use of complex logical reasoning. Many also require counting and even more complicated mathematical reasoning. Games played in groups require building social skills.
