To guide kids to learn the spirit of cooperation, board games will definitely be a good tool. PMQ Seed introduces various educational and fun parent-child board games to you! During the game, kids can learn knowledge, communication, cooperation skills, and also nurture their concentration, judgment, reasoning and resilience, to inspire their inner potential.
We recommend "Robots" for children, a 2020 Kinderspiel Award nominated game that can fully show the elements of teamwork. Kids will learn the concept of time and try to work together with others to develop a sense of time and speed in a fun, simple, and engaging way!
It is an easy-to-learn board game in which kids need to see how differently our concept of speed is compared to others as everyone perceives speed differently. Kids have to work together as a team and master teammates' perception of fast, medium and slow speed throughout the game. The closer they can read the teammates' perception of speed, the higher the score they can get. Through the process of trial and error, the players begin to get in sync with each other, in order to get a better score every time. All in all, the game will help kids develop this sense while also learning to adjust to someone else’s sense of time as they see it. In addition, if it comes to more than 3 players, kids can try the battle mode, and the gameplay will become more exciting and interesting!
