Ball Games
Something as simple as passing the ball to another and receiving it back helps in building social-emotional skills. The child will understand that they have to coordinate with the other person in order to keep the fun going. And when they play with a larger group, they also get the understanding that they have to wait for their turn. This gives them patience and cooperation learning in a simple and interesting manner.
Playing House
We’ve all played house as kids. It’s the most common role-playing game where kids pretend to run a house. As per their imagination, they include various characters like daddy, mommy, kids, and maybe even a dog. And are often seen taking inspiration from their surroundings, which is a great way to boast their imaginative thinking. Through this game, kids also get some sense of responsibility – by imitating the acts of cooking, cleaning, taking care of the kids, pets and going to work etc. It’s a fun game where kids get in touch with their caring and compassionate side. These imaginative scenarios eventually enable the kids to grow as better individuals, socially and emotionally.
Listening Games
Games like Simon Says, Chinese Whispers, and Follow the Leader are very helpful ways for kids to learn to be active and mature in a social setting. They learn to be in control of their emotions because they are able to recognize and respond to what is being asked of them. Playing listening games with the family or other kids will compel them to be on their best behavior and also, improve their concentration as well as patience levels. This also means fewer tantrums and attention-seeking fits.
Online Games
There are many apps and online games where kids can focus on social-emotional learning. Digital games where you have to take care of a pet or help a friend in need allow the kids to put emotion in the game. They will learn the values of compassion, empathy, kindness, cooperation, and much more. There are games that present various scenarios for the child to be able to differentiate between right and wrong – leaving out a child v/s playing with everyone, throwing a stone at a dog v/s petting the dog, and many other similar scenarios. A number of meaningful online activities like these can be found on the SKIDOS games app that provide parents a chance to put technology to good use for helping their kids to learn and grow.
My day is usually quite hectic. As a mom of three I worry a lot about their screen time. Since we have SKIDOS Games I feel calm that they are safe online and are actually learning while playing. SKIDOS helped me get more time for myself, and now I simply get more done.

A great game with good math content where both of my kids (6 and 8 years old) can enjoy the game play and the math tasks. We have created 2 accounts and choose different grades, so both of my kids get math content adequate for their age. We really like Skidos games! Highly recommend!

I came across this fun math game which according to me is the best game for 7,8,9 year old kids. I am a teacher and introduced this game to the parents of my kids. So kids can now play and learn at the same time.
