A great game available on GameStop and Amazon for Nintendo Switch, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker promotes thinking capabilities in children. The game comes with a variety of challenging puzzles for ages five and above. As the name implies, the lead character is Captain Toad from the popular Mario Bros. series from Nintendo. The children will win “treasures” as they continue to solve the puzzles!

Tinybop is actually a suite of apps aimed at inculcating a love of learning in kids. Ideal for ages four and above, it is available on both PC and mobile (Android and iOS). Try out the app with your kids and see which games pique your interest. The Curiosity Kit is quite popular. This game is about the human body, animals, and much more. Tinybop also offers a special package for schools. Hopefully, when the schools reopen, schools that are subscribers of this package will make it available again for their kids. This special package comes with around ten apps and games!

5 Dragonbox Math and Chess Games

Dragonbox Math and Chess games are great for children above four years of age. The Dragonbox games are primarily related to math. However, they also created Magnus’ Kingdom with the chess pro player Magnus Carlsen. This chess-learning game has enjoyed a lot of wide acceptance and popularity. Make sure to introduce these games to your child for boosting their analytical and math skills. The adventure-styled approach that the games provide allows kids to understand with ease and comfort. They can easily understand math operations and what the chess pieces do with the interactive interface. You can also play the chess game to improve your chess skills!

6 Endless Alphabet

Endless Alphabet is also a great game to improve your children’s basic language skills. The app helps in teaching the basic alphabet to kids in the beginning. Once done, the app teaches simple sentences followed by complex sentences. Therefore, this app is great for children of age three as this is the time they are learning how to speak. Puzzle games also boost the analytical skills of children. Moreover, the game also provides definitions in the form of illustrations to aid in learning. The developers of Endless Alphabet have many other games to their credit as well. Make sure to check them out too. They’ve also published a similar app for the Spanish language. The games mentioned above are quite helpful in developing an analytical mindset in kids at a young age. Furthermore, do note that you require a stable internet connection for most of these games. I upgraded my internet bandwidth by calling Charter customer service to ensure a smooth gaming and learning experience for my kids. Check with your service provider if you need an upgrade as well! Once you make sure what needs to be done, have a great time playing and learning with your kids!
