Gaming is Good

Gaming is Good

Playing board games and video games gives us a sense of camaraderie with those we’re playing with (or against), a rush of excitement when we accomplish a goal, and a general feeling of fun. What we may not realize is the amazing skill-building opportunity that games present. Games challenge us to think creatively, make decisions, solve problems, strategize, communicate and most importantly – learn from our mistakes and try again when we lose.


These are critically important real-life skills, and understanding why and how games motivate us gives us a powerful new play-based tool for skill-building success.
