The Benefits of Visual Thinking Games

When parents, caregivers, and educators play visual thinking games with children, it helps kids work on their non-verbal skills such as the ability to concentrate. These games also stimulate a child’s ability to notice and reflect on the physical differences and similarities between objects. Kids develop this skill by using their visual memory or paying attention to their environment, just as thinking games subtly train them to do. The games also provide opportunities for social interaction and give parents the chance to interact in a positive way with their children.
