A Short but Interesting List of Games for Your Kid
Let’s be honest with something. I love using my phone as a fidget toy, considering the phone case I bought with it. My kid’s happy with it, too. But that happens when the battery dies.
A phone that’s running (and one that does not have a password) is not a fidget toy…not to a kid of course.
Today’s parents are smart though. And they know how to use their phones as tools to help their kids learn. I mean schools are using them. And that’s great.
I personally chose Star Chef, one of the café games I found online for my 12-year-old son, simply because he loves to cook with his mum. You can say I have channeled his interest in the right direction (probably).
Chances are you’re thinking the same thing. What’s possibly left is downloading the game…or a few games. This post can help.
Why Games Though?
I have a good logic.
Or maybe it’s tricky.
If we’re recommended sports for helping our kids develop brain power, then we might get the same benefit from playing games on a digital platform. Although sports involve the body with the brain, it’s a fact that both these sorts of exercises involve the brain.
Plus, you can look at studies that support this fact. Research has already stated that you can help your kid grow motor skills and cognitive abilities with the help of mobile games or any kind of game. This is a functional thing these days.
Games aren’t misunderstood anymore.
This is why I thought it right to offer you a list of games that you and your kids can play. This is why this post and the list come below. Find out which games might suit your kid the best.
Games Your Kid Needs to Play to Learn Stuff about Life
The internet is positively teeming with games- chef games and otherwise- for the young and the young-at-heart. There are some even for those in their golden years. Here, though, we’ve focused only on some great games for the youngsters at home.
Star Chef
Ain’t that a game, which reminds you of the celebrities? No, the game isn’t that. It’s one of those café games that you often want your kids to play if you want to give them a sneak-peek of the information required.
It’s basically an online cooking simulation game. Although you may treat it as a café game, think of it more as a restaurant simulation. You can choose your items, make your food, serve it to customers…or for yourself…and learn through the process.
Star Chef reminds me of the graphic style used in retro games. It’s an isometric top-down style, where the design of the game’s interface is a little tilted. And that’s fine for your kid because he or she might find the game easy.
Did you know that there is an interesting game like this for adults as well? It’s known as a Top Chef; mind you, it cannot be played on the mobile platform. You’ll need a laptop or a PC for it.
Minecraft
Ever wondered of survival in the cutest ways possible? Minecraft is your answer. That’s because Minecraft pushes your kids to think more. It’s an extremely effective game to power up the brain cells of your kid, if you want the youngster to learn of course.
Minecraft is a game where you have to survive by exploring, collecting items, food and more. It gets dark in the night. Yes, there are zombies. And all of this happens very fast. Make your shelter before night to protect yourself from zombies and make your shelter.
Sky bound Cup head
As a matter of fact, Sky bound Cup head is a game where animated characters from your childhood come alive!
Your childhood means the childhood of the parents. We’re speaking 90s.
I enjoyed Looney Toons. You probably know about the animated style of the cartoon shows. We haven’t seen them alive in the platform of a game. However, our kids can with a game like Sky bound Cup head.
Developers took this game as an action RPG, with plain, simple and intuitive platformer style, great for kids holding a Nintendo Switch or a similar device.
Action, run-and-gun, boss fights…you won’t miss doing things in this game if your kid or teen likes adventure. The fun part is the graphics and the animation.
Star dew Valley
Did you know that the developer of this game is a single person?
Indeed!
Star dew Valley is a farming simulator game, where you can farm crops, build homes, make friends and expand your gameplay. It’s a simple game with even simpler pixel art. But, again, it’s a universe for your kids.
It is a game, which comes close to the amalgamation of Star Chef and Minecraft. The fun part is Star dew Valley is going to make your kid think and make out strategies to ‘grow’ in the game. That’s what actually matters.
To Conclude
Whether it is Top Chef or an action RPG like Sky bound Cup head, your kid needs to learn how to use the game more strategically as a learning tool. That also means not getting addicted to it.
This is why you’re there.
Enough said!
