In today's generation, this is a crucial point to be discussed 90 percent of the worlds are crazy for games. I myself am a game lover. I played many games of different categories. But, the one which captive my mind is puzzle games. These have benefits in their own way. This can be a step towards learning in a fun way. It is an educational learning platform for everyone of any age. The main benefit of this is, it increases the IQ level.
Other than that, it enhances the core skills that your brain uses to, read, learn, remember and pay attention. These skills working together, they take incoming information and move it into the library of knowledge you use every day in a life.
Skills that games can develop:
Problem-solving skills
Problem-solving is the skill, not everyone have it. Solving puzzles helps to produce this skill. Most of the people find difficulty in solving problems. The best example you can have is a subject, math. Oodles of people run away from it. Being a game lover, I love solving problems of mathematics.
Motor development
Motor development is a skill that involves the movement of muscles. The best puzzle I prefer for this is Rubik's cube, by playing it your hands and eyes coordinate with each other along with your mind controlling the movements. This enhances the coordination working of your body. There are as well as outdoor games that gain the interest of kids. No game is played without any strategy. A strategy is necessary for any game to win. If we take an example of soccer and cricket, the positioning of players and on spot movements, all are strategically created.
Makes you social
Not only outdoor games are played by multiple people that makes them social but also indoor games and digital games also makes introvert to interact. Most of the people who play digital games are introverts as they don't hang out with other people. Digital and indoor games will also make you social and help you to speak up your views. Let's take indoor game chess, which is played between two people. You talk and give comments while playing. In any way, you interact. Nowadays there are many games that are played worldwide and interact with different types of people around the world. This will make people social as well as they will know the new cultures of the different parts of the world.
Increase self-esteem.
Playing games increase self-esteem. As your mind sharpens with these games you look yourself thoroughly and evaluate your worth. You try to improve yourself. You try to be a better person than you were before, you try to beat your own record, and you level up yourself.
There are different types of games, and each requires you to think differently. A standard crossword makes you think of a word, based i=on its definition, and how it is spelled. Sudoku requires you to use your logical thinking skills to place the numbers correctly in the puzzle grid. There are more games that make your mind to think differently, to find more than one way to solve a problem. This raises the level of thinking. People start to think laterally and out of the box. They find an alternate solution to the problem. Having lateral thinking even helps you throughout life.
It also helps to keep focus in life, Focusing your attention on a game can help you keep anxiety at bay or at least take the edge off it. Concentrating on fact and data will help to keep the emotional side under control. Focus and concentration keep your brain healthy.
This will also give you a successful experience. Doesn't feel amazing when you complete a puzzle or a quiz? It gives a good feeling for the whole day. And you will be ready to challenge again. You can see yourself getting better with each attempt.
In life, you won't be afraid to take challenges. as taking challenges in games will give you the experience of dealing with them. Just like how the game gives you challenges after every state, life strikes you with challenges on its every page. By focusing on them and applying solutions alternatively, you can ease the difficult challenges of lives.
There are as well as many cons of playing games. Nowadays teenagers are being addicted to digital games and spoiling there lives. But everything has its own pros and cons it all depends on how you use it. If you play games like your life depends on it and addict yourself to an extreme, it definitely dangerous. Similarly, an increase in technology is both useful as well as harmful. You should use things instead of misusing them. Everything around you depends on how you use it and how you think of it. Having positive thinking will give an optimistic result while the negative will lead to a destructive end.
