Why do we love alphabet snap? πππ€©
One of the oldest, most traditional pastime activities, card games can bring your children tremendous benefits through developing basic life skills.
Itβs a great way to spend family time together and also learn more about each other.
Try a competitive round of Snap to find out! Playing cards is not only a great way to spend a rainy day or a day on a holiday, but card games are full of hidden learning opportunities for kids.
β’ Card games will teach your children fine motor skills. Holding a hand of cards will work their smaller hand and finger muscles. And dealing cards and sorting them requires kids to use their thumb, index and middle finger. Meanwhile, for the older kids, learning to shuffle cards develops bilateral coordination of hands and control across the palms.
β’ Flipping cards to match two cards of the same letter or same picture for example can be an excellent way for kids to build recognition and memorization skills. Remembering the rules, the order of play (always to the left), even whose turn it is, all require focus and concentration.
β’ Card games require observation and conversations. Throughout the game, your kid has the chance to interact with the players, whether itβs family or friends, and also understand different emotions. Introducing kids to card games early on will help them with their social interactions, and can help shy children feel more confident.
