After the publication of “Games Are Not Fierce Monsters, Why Be So Afraid?”, the promised “Game Recommendation” article is now available!
In the previous article, we mentioned that allowing children to play games is not a terrifying thing. As long as it is properly managed and controlled, playing games can definitely bring benefits. So the next question is, what to play?
Today, I will share several children-oriented games that DouDou loves to play and those recommended by friends.
01
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Reasons for recommendation:
It’s easy to get started. Just make the racing car run.
There are various styles of race tracks, and you can throw items while running. The special effects are very brilliant and beautiful.
It’s a multiplayer mode. Both adults and children can play. It’s suitable for the whole family or for children’s gatherings. The threshold is relatively low.
This was the first game that DouDou officially played. Whether in terms of picture quality or ease of operation, it is very suitable for young children. Especially since DouDou is a boy, he simply can’t resist things like cars. This game has always been his most beloved NO.1, and he always seizes every opportunity to show off the goodness of this game to me.
Some time ago, DouDou suddenly came to me mysteriously and said, “Mom, I’ll show you a volcano~” Then he asked me to stay by his side and watch him play the racing game. At a certain point, he pointed at the screen and shouted excitedly, “Mom, look! The volcano is erupting!” It turned out to be a volcanic scene in the racing track…
02
Just Dance
Reasons for recommendation:
It supports somatosensory control. Dance along with the TV. It’s both a game and exercise, making exercise more fun.
It’s a multiplayer mode. Both adults and children can play. It’s suitable for the whole family or for children’s gatherings, but it requires a bit of physical strength.
There is a kid mode specifically for children, reducing the difficulty of dance movements, making it easy for children to follow.
The first time DouDou played was in a vacation villa with several children from our friends’ families. We adults sat leisurely on the sofa and watched the children dance together, competing to see who could get more stars, one song after another. Adults were relaxed and children were happy. Look, what a great way to discharge energy!
03
Super Mario Party
Reasons for recommendation:
The operation is simple. It’s a party game that can be played from 3 years old to 80 years old.
It supports somatosensory control. There are a total of 80 mini-games with rich gameplay.
I played this game at a friend’s house. My friend said it’s very suitable for playing when there are many people. It’s also very easy for children to get started. DouDou and the little girl from my friend’s family met for the first time during that visit. They played the game and the two children quickly became familiar. Look! Games are clearly a great social tool!
04
Taiko no Tatsujin
Reasons for recommendation:
The music is nice and it’s suitable for training children’s sense of rhythm.
It’s easy to get started. The operation method is simple and suitable for all ages.
Like Just Dance, it belongs to the music category of games. But compared to dancing, which requires limb coordination, playing the drums is relatively easier. Taiko no Tatsujin was something I liked very much when I was studying. Every time I went to places like Tom’s World, it was one of the must-play items. DouDou also likes things with a strong sense of rhythm like this. With the Switch version, you can play at home, which is very convenient.
05
Yoshi’s Crafted World
Reasons for recommendation:
Cute style of painting and moderate difficulty. It’s a truly all-ages game.
Puzzle-solving + collection elements, training sharp insight.
This game has been rated as the best parent-child game by various platforms. I think the main reason is that it adds puzzle-solving, this kind of educational element, and the game difficulty is not high. It has a very fairy-tale feel.
This is a game a friend bought for his daughter. When we all went out to play, DouDou tried it. He can play it, but compared to games like “Mario Kart” with a fast pace, his interest in this kind of game is a bit less.
It may be more suitable for quieter children, but it’s really a very good game.
06
Snipperclips – Cut It Out, Together!
Reasons for recommendation: 1. Two-player collaboration, testing the ability to cooperate. 2. It’s a graphic puzzle game involving the combination, splicing and transformation of graphics and the concept of three-dimensional space.
This game has been added to my must-buy list. DouDou’s knowledge of graphics is slightly weak. It’s best to supplement what’s lacking, isn’t it? My鸡血 mom nature is exposed again, haha~
The above are the 6 games suitable for children that I wanted to share with you. However, as always, no matter how good the game is, without reasonable management and control by parents, it will mostly end up with children losing their ambition due to excessive play. It’s better to join the game with your children and enjoy the happy parent-child time together!
