Benefits of games to the little ones
Introduction
We are gathered here with the purpose of presenting a speech whose topic that should not interest anyone, more than conflicting reason due to the great framework of subjectivity that it raises. I have as a personal goal that the issue of which I am going to generate each of you, a new way of seeing, feeling and understanding things. The theme of which today I have the pleasure and enthusiasm of sharing with you is: the games. Many people today, consider that playing is "wasting time" today I come to try to demonstrate how much this activity contributed and will continue to contribute to our personal and collective development.
Developing
But first what is a game? The Royal Academy defines it as the recreational exercise subject to rules in which it is won or lost. Based on that, it generates a question of great importance. Can you play for the mere fact of playing? Out of the previous conceptualization, the games have their own characteristics. To play one you can freely accept or not, marking that there is only a game when there is a willing. Now from the point of view of human development, playing is useful and is extremely important for the development of intellectual and emotional capacity.
Since it starts at the level of the sensations of joy when we achieve the goal and on the other it teaches us how to handle the frustration of not achieving it. That is why at this stage play is learning. Another important aspect is the stimulation of the anatomy of our body, with which we acquire flexibility and agility. Playing is definitely an activity of great importance for all, during the first two years of life stimulates our senses, movements, balance, self-improvement, oculum-manual coordination and social interaction with the world of adults. Until 7 years, it is symbolic because it consists of simulating people, objects, characters.
All this stimulates our understanding and incorporation of the world around us, we begin to develop language, creativity and imagination. After that, we begin with the games that have fixed rules, which tell us when we win and when we lose, when it is our turn and when it is not, they stimulate our reasoning capacity, our attention and our empathy. So during our childhood playing gives us: potentiality in creativity, it facilitates playing with other people, improves the control of our body actions, perfects fine motor skills, increases the ability of our attention, concentration and understanding, develops analysis and synthesis capabilities.
Now that we know what it contributes to play during our development in childhood, what does it contribute to play in adulthood? When we are adults, the meaning of the games changes, it becomes a more form of sociabilization of the human being, it is a tool used by psychologists to treat cases of depression, anxiety. Playing becomes a way to prevent and treat stress. In cases of complex role -playing games, with a challenging context for the player, with a character that has its own story in which it goes through situations that generate a moral challenge, for example, the player can generate a work of introspection of the challenge faced.
Improving his empathy through the game character. High complexity games, designed with slow learning curves, lead the player to lose more frequent. Teaming games, significantly help cooperation, communication and focuses on the work of each of the players to a common result, which without the contribution of each of them would not be achieved in any way. Then the contribution of adulthood games helps us to "disconnect" from everyday life, encourages our creativity.
It offers us a framework that favors socialization, morality increases, helps keep the body and mind in shape and favor learning. Today, through the use of the Internet, the way of playing radically change, the merger between play and technology is increasingly powerful. Because of this, it is increasingThe use of Portuguese. The almost unlimited access games, where the player depending on the game has a large range of possibilities.
In such a way where the prejudices about what game is from "baby" and what play is "baby", there are hardly. Behind each game there are communities made up of people from all over the world, only in Argentina it is estimated that at least 19 million people play online. The classic games of our childhood, such as the hidden that he taught us to count and that with the phrase "free stone for all my classmates" you helped your friend who had found, the poisonous stain that made one run as never before thought he could, the rayuela that with just a stone or bottle lid transported us from earth to heaven.
conclusion
Little by little they are absorbed by digital games, the use of smartphone and tablet for minors is increasingly frequent. To this we can add the demographic growth of the neighborhoods converted into cities, the increase in crime rates, it has been running to the boys of these games in “the street” as a boy used to do it with the boys and girls in my neighborhood. To conclude, playing brings us benefits of utmost importance, it helps us both personally and in the relationship with others. As Francesco Tonucci said "all the most important learning of life are made by playing".
