Nowadays even kids of 5 years old are learning to code. Learning coding boosts the computational thinking of a child only if they can truly understand the fundamentals of computing.
However, spending so much time in front of a screen can create a problem not only for their eyes but also for their mental health.
So here is an easy solution to inculcate computational thinking in our child - Playing /Designing Board Game.
Playing a board game with friends and families can be a stress buster. It is also a very effective tool for nurturing family bonds.
Moreover, a board game has many other benefits too. It helps a child to set a goal and breaking dowing the steps to reach the goal. It also helps in inculcating design thinking and problem-solving attitude in our kids.
I will request parents to encourage their children to improvise the rules. Encourage your 5+ years old toddlers to design a board game. It will boost their creative thinking and computational thinking skills.
You just need paper, pencil, eraser, colours and ruler to design a board game.
In the beginning, you can refer to
