Educational Used Video Games?


Most parents wouldn't consider video games or consoles to be educational, however, companies like Vtech would like to disagree with you. While it seems like most children games these days could be considered educational on a small degree, gaming options like Vtech actually ARE made to be educational. These games, among other consoles, can teach your children an array of education aspects such as math, science, social studies/history, literature/how to read, etc. These games are not only educational - which is great, but they are also fun and interesting.

Most of us that have kids, know that children get bored if something doesn't have at least a tinge of fun and excitement. So for these games it's important that it doesn't seem like a school type game and that it actually has a fun aspect as well. Big Brain Academy for Wii is a mixture of identification-themed questions, memory, analyzation, math themed questions and visual themed questions. Seems boring? Well if you let your child make their own mind it would end up being a lot more fun for them!

They can also play either solo or multi-player, which obviously means they can play against their friends - which can also teach your child something else, the voracity to win, but to also be a good loser as well. Overall it depends on what games you want your children to play and what you want them to learn, but for most of the games available out there you might be pleasantly surprised with!
