I have tried introducing Splinterlands to one of mine, but still unsuccessful... I guess it will be my fault at the end of the day.

Only works when there's no other stuff around (like when going camping and stuff like that...).

Teaching physical board games, excellent development tools, also teaches one to lose gracefully (especially when learning with older children/siblings).

We didn't have video games when I was a kid, and as I grew up, being allowed to play a board game was a big deal, at least to me. I could see kids today having the same feeling about board games, even with the video games, but I think they'd be few and far between.

That’s wonderful to take time to play games with your girls. It’s a great way to teach them how to win or lose gracefully.

It would be good to learn games where you have to count(E.g. cribbage, darts) would be an advantage to children in school

Kids these days are all mobile phones and social media. Amazing how you go them interested to play with boardgames.

I love to buy my kids this kind of games and when we go to the beach house where there is no internet they play everything. I also have them in the house but between the occupations and the computer they don't let them use them, it is very important that they use their memory or exercise it

This is great. I miss doing that with my girls. They grew and are far away now. Parents need to encourage and cultivate this kind of interaction with children

We've been having a great time introducing our grandchildren to board games and card games - Roman is 7 and Millie is 5 - and they are loving the interaction with us adults in a fun way. And we adults still play cards and board games during family game nights. Great post!

I always liked Clue and Life. We'll take a break from the TV now and again to break out a game or two. Love It! Your right.. Chess and checkers too are a good way to build useful life strategy skills.

We also love board games and have many , so many of our weekends are filled with playing games. And ofcourse they do video games aswell, and learning to play piano. So different from my parents but slightly the same !

I remember these days. My kids came into being before computers were in every home, so the board games were a big thing. Also blocks, trains, doll houses - that's what they did all day. Now only one of them even plays video games. And boy do I remember how great their memories were on those games! Thanks for reminding me, I had forgotten. I was definitely a loser every time on those. Entertaining post.

I love board games, and my family becomes very competitive even with a simple game like Monopoly!! I taught my children Monopoly on a young age and it did wonders for their math, from a very young age.

We have lots of fun together playing cards as well!!

I congratulate you on your thinking. Misguided technology is brutalizing human beings. Teaching board games to children teaches them to think and have strategies. My son studied music, it was a beautiful investment that raised him as a better human being in my opinion. Chess is a fabulous and very complete game. Thank you for sharing. @bengy

A true leader helps others to become leaders my friend and you are indeed a great parent in the development of your blessings(children).
Even if you are bit biased on the losing side hahaha.
Blessings!

I have an entire china cabinet full of board and card games. Some of them we actively play quite often! My oldest son knew one of them so well that when he was in the hospital for over a week he was able to replicate the game and teach all his hospital mates how to play. That was pretty awesome to see.

I have such fond memories of playing board games with family growing up as well as with my children. You're right @bengy, you can't develop those communication skills while gaming! Face to face is definitely necessary. I worry about those kids today spending their childhood in front of a computer screen. Playing outside and being creative is crucial, negotiating skills are also developed with peers. So glad to see your family game time :)

We love board games. My kids are older so we go for more sophisticated games like Settlers of Catan these days, but we have collected quite a few. I know what you mean about kids being good at memory games! Our kids have always creamed us at those too.

Howdy sir Bengy! Very true and I think it's great that you're getting them involved even if they slaughter you. lol.

Hi @bengy. Kids are like sponges, they soak up everything. Learn quickly. Take for instance, a child not yet 1 years old in the shopping cart playing with his mom's iphone, happily pushing buttons and giggling. And they don't forget any promises made to them.

I played tic-tac-toe; find-a-word puzzles; scrabble; crosswords with my kids when they were small. Now when my granddaughter visits, we go online and print out some find-a-word and other puzzles. She loves that just she and I play. And it's hard to beat her at those games.

But then she pulls out the phone and wants me to play some crossing the train and jumping over trains game. Knowing I can't play them, she laughs when I get creamed by the train. I'm so glad that they still want to play games with me.

Thanks for sharing, and have a great rest of your week.
