The choice of a suitable board game affects,of course, the age of the child. It should be remembered that it is very difficult for young children to sit in one place for a long time. Usually they "take" minutes for 10-15. The level of the board game should match the level of intellectual development of the child.

So, when choosing a board game for a preschooler orfirst-graders, it is better to give preference to competitive games or games "walkers" (with a cube and "walking" figures). Such games teach the child patience, the ability to concentrate, the desire for victory and skill worthy of losing.

Still, literally from the first year of life, the childYou can offer a wonderful board game - picking puzzles. For very young kids puzzles should consist of a couple of large parts, and with age, the number of parts increases, and their size decreases. At first, parents should especially closely monitor the baby in the process of this game, because the child probably wants to try everything on the "tooth."

The rules of the board game should be clear to the child,are honest with respect to it (can a child really win or should the older ones succumb?). The duration of the game should not cause discomfort in the child, and all actions and figures should be clear and understandable for him.

For middle-aged students, board gamesalready more complicated. They can play in strategy or "economic" games (the same monopoly, for example). "Walkers" to older students are also interesting, especially if their rules become more complicated. Board games for children of this age are taught to work in a team, work out a strategy together, win or lose together.

Children aged 12-13 years old can usually play along with adults playing all board games.
