Types of Board Games
Choosing the right game for a child takes a lot of thought so first consider the age and then decide what type of board game. Types of games fall into categories like educational, strategy, quiz, card games, team playing games etc.
Educational Board Games
The collection we have here includes an array of games for all ages and abilities. Games are foremost an enjoyable activity however, more and more games are used as an educational tool. Key components of games are goals, challenges, rules, and interaction which can be of a physical nature or involve some form of stimulation of the mind.
Learning Toys
There are board games, computer games, ball games, learning toys and games of skill and games of chance. All requiring the player to have a certain amount of skill, strategy or luck on their side. This can soon improve with practice, that’s why games never go out of fashion and remain a popular choice for families.
Wi-Fi Interaction Toys
Playing games not only entertain us it keeps the mind active and healthy. There are many attributes and advantages of playing different types of games. From an early age upwards learning toys can shape and build our social skills. More importantly, they improve our memory and concentration plus sharpen certain academic skills.
The age of the digital era has led to the rise of gaming and the highly successful video game market. Wii and Nintendo DS Lite cater to everyone with great learning toys and games for preschoolers. In addition to keep-fit and interactive games for the whole family with Wii sports and games including new releases from the latest films.
Updated Monopoly and Cludo
Old fashioned games are as popular as ever and Monopoly, Cluedo, Snakes and Ladders, Bingo, Connect 4, Twister and Scrabble still hold the same appeal as they first did. They may look different and have had revamped make-over but the rules are the same and the guarantee of great family fun.
TV Show Games
Games taken from popular TV shows has been a growing trend over the years with TV favourites Deal or No Deal one of the top sellers. Others include: Who wants to be a Millionaire, Family Fortunes, Catch Phrase, Golden Balls, Britain’s Got Talent, High School Musical DVD Game and more.
These TV favourites are ideal at Christmas time when families get together. It doesn’t take long to pick up the rules because everyone is probably familiar with the TV programme.
Gadget games, on the other hand, involve a little more skill and are usually a one on one experience. Hamley’s are predicting the Rubik Cube to be as successful as it was last year; there is a new version out for 2009 the Rubik 360 that looks set to just as addictive. This 3-D mechanical puzzle is like the original in that it can not be broken until you solve it and is suitable for 8 years upwards.
Hand-Held Smart Control Games
Bop it! Extreme 2 is one you can play alone or with others and suits 8 years old upwards. It sold very well last year and looks to do the same this year. This handheld device from Hasbro first came on the scene in 1996 since then there have been numerous variants. This is a reaction game where you have to act fast and follow the commands by bopping, pulling, and twisting your way to victory.
There are plenty of toy ideas for preschoolers and games to help them focus their attention and learn important life skills. They can have fun with games involving counting, colour matching, and early learning goals. Games can encourage observation and fine motor skills and also develop social communication.
Pre-school Learning Laptops
Today the digital world has reached the Preschool learning stage with games such as Vtech V.Smile, Leap Frog Leapster 2 and Tag reading system. Leapster 2 won a 2008 Gold Practical Pre-School Award and is aimed at 4 years old upwards. This advanced educational gaming system allows parents to monitor their child’s progress with the Leapfrog learning path.
The digital revolution has not so much taken over the way we play instead it has opened up another world of recreational enjoyment. Traditional board games have lasted the test of time and have been updated as each generation comes around that’s why at Christmas time grandparents excel at board games because they have had many more years playing the game!
