How Can Tabletop Games Benefit Kids?

Beyond entertainment, board games can help children practice turn-taking, cooperation, patience and handling disappointment. The Child Development Clinic notes that games can also support “planning, problem solving, decision making” and other cognitive skills.

Games involving colors, numbers and movement can provide opportunities to practice early math and follow instructions. Playing together also encourages conversation and gives children opportunities to connect with parents and siblings away from screens.

For the best experience, parents should choose games that suit their child’s age, attention span and abilities. Whether families are racing along a rainbow path or joining the Grinch for a mischievous adventure, game night can offer a fun way to learn and spend time together.
