LEARNING WITH GAMES
While children are having fun with games,
they are strengthening their mental abilities
and feelings of self-worth. Games can help
children to count and do simple arithmetic
and also to read and spell. In addition, games
give children confidence in their ability to
think by giving them practice in such skills as
planning, organizing, and problem-solving.
