The sweet scent of new stationery, the crispness of unopened textbooks and the promise of a fresh start- it’s that time of the year again!

How educational games for kids boost back to school revision?

Our educational games serve as a fantastic tool to help your kids revise subjects and prepare for the upcoming school year. Let’s explore how these games facilitate effective revision:

1. Engagement and active learning: Our games help capture your kids’ attention by turning learning into an interactive and enjoyable experience. When kids are engaged, they actively participate in the learning process. This enhances their understanding and retention of the subject matter. 

2. Concept reinforcement: SKIDOS learning games are designed to reinforce key concepts in a way that feels more like play than studying. Through gameplay, kids encounter and practice essential information repeatedly. This helps to solidify their understanding and memory of the subject. 

3. Application of knowledge: Our educational games involve problem solving scenarios that require kids to apply learned concepts. By using their knowledge to solve in-game challenges, kids gain a deeper understanding of how the subjects are used in real-life situations. 

4. Positive feedback: Our games provide positive feedback that allows kids to assess their strengths in real time. This feedback loop encourages a cycle of trial and error, helping kids to make improvements. This motivates kids to continue engaging with our content. As they progress and achieve new milestones each day, our games boost their confidence and enthusiasm for subjects like math and english. 

5. Variety and multisensory learning: Our games come in various formats such as quizzes, puzzles, simulations and interactive stories. This variety caters to different styles of learning. This allows kids to engage with the subject using multiple senses at once, enhancing comprehension and memory. 

6. Reduces stress and anxiety: Traditional revision methods can sometimes be stressful for kids leading to anxiety. Our games for kids provide a stress-free environment your little ones can review subjects without feeling overwhelmed, making the process more enjoyable. 

7. Active recall and critical thinking: Our games require players to recall information and make decisions based on their understanding of the subject. This active recall and critical thinking contribute to deeper learning. It helps kids develop problem solving skills.

8. Flexible learning pace: Our games offer the flexibility to learn at one’s own pace. Your kids can revisit challenging concepts or delve into new topics according to their readiness, ensuring a customized learning experience. 

9. Social learning: Our games offer role playing opportunities that encourage collaboration and teamwork skills. These interactions with the game characters foster social skills and communication- essential qualities for thriving in a classroom setting. 

10. Preparation for classroom learning: As kids revise through our educational games, they build a foundation of knowledge and confidence. This prepares them for classroom discussions and activities. This head start can lead to increased participation and a smoother transition back to school. 

Incorporating educational games into your kids’ revision process helps them refresh their memory and understanding of subjects. It makes the entire process of revision enjoyable and rewarding. As they embark on this journey of learning through play, kids are better able to tackle the challenges and opportunities of the new school year with enthusiasm and confidence.
