Choosing your Construction Games

Construction games develop skills

The benefits of construction games are many. One of the biggest benefits of these games is that your kid develops better hand-eye coordination. There is also the development of simulation skills that these games offer. Some of these involve playing with other kids and this means that your kid develops their social skills. When you see them in action, you can find out how they manage difficult situations by using their thought processes. The abilities construction games develop are also different according to his age. Even adults have fun and learn with construction games!

Some of the most popular construction games types

There are several categories of construction games that you can choose for your kid. Let us look at some of the most popular genres.

War games and RPG (role playing game) – The pirate games are included in this category and these games are highly popular. These games would typically involve building pirate ships and then ransacking the other vessels in the sea. Your kid, while assembling the ship, would play the role of a shipbuilder or a pirate and think strategically to execute.

Robots – Creating a robot by assembling various parts is a real fun filled activity and you will also enjoy accompanying your child when this is being done. The two of you will benefit from each other’s thought processes. Moreover, you can let your child take the lead and this will, in turn, increase their confidence.

Race cars – Kids love to see their racing cars whiz by on a racing track. And the fun is multiplied when they assemble their race car. There is a lot of mechanical intelligence required here and you could be seeing a budding engineer at home!

Structures – Some blocks strewn about and your kid is given the task to create a building or a house or some other structure. This is a challenge they are going to love. Not only will their brain get a complete workout, but the sense of accomplishment is also going to benefit your child.

Construction games are games after all

Make sure you don’t put undue pressure on your children when you want them to have a go at construction games. All these games clearly mention the age group they are designed for and you should adhere to this label. Remember that these games are meant to enhance confidence and a sense of accomplishment. Don’t buy a game that is not meant for your child because they will be sad if they cannot complete the job. These are games we’re talking about, just remember that.

Keep safety in perspective

Of course, you should keep the safety perspective in mind. You will see that there are construction games available in all price ranges. It is best to buy the games from the reliable manufacturers. These manufacturers ensure that the game pieces are safe to use. You can also look for labels such as EU.

Which construction games for which use?

To get started, you may buy some of the building sets for your child. These are the easiest of the construction games and your kid will be able to master the pieces soon. When they are confident, move on to the more complicated construction games. Some of the best building sets are LEGO 21103 The DeLorean Time Machine Building Set (photo 1), LEGO City Cargo Heliplane, LEGO Ultimate Building Set and Fisher-Price Trio DC Super Friends.

Kids love to act like superheroes and they will be delighted when you give them construction games involving Marvel and Disney characters including LEGO Super Heroes 76021 Marvel 3, Lego Marvel Super Heroes Captain America's Avenging Cycle, Lego Super Heroes Iron Man Extremis Sea Port Battle, Hasbro Disney Princess Duplo - Cinderella's Carriage and Toyland LEGO Disney Princess 41050 Ariel's Amazing Treasures.

Let your child create wonderful models including Lego Minecraft (photo 3), Clics 11 Models Loader and Fisher Technic Basic: Bulldozer (photo 2), 85 Pieces and see how they enjoy their time without TV for hours.

There are also the other figures that can keep your child engaged. The top construction games in this category include ALEX Toys Prism Bricks, K'NEX Track Pack Building Set and LEGO Friends Dolphin Cruiser.

Construction games are considered excellent for kids for a variety of reasons. These are not just games that require assembling. Your kid needs to use a wide range of skills and this is beneficial in the long run. Read Buying Guide
