Pupil Guide To

Traditional Games

The Comenius Project:

The Comenius Project is a project

which aims to promote traditional

and non-electronic games such as

‘snakes and ladders’ or ‘dominoes’

etc. In order to decrease the use of

modern games which may cause

harm towards the children of this

era.

The idea of promoting traditional

games is very useful as it helps to

build mental and concentration skills

as well as hand eye-coordination.

These skills are very useful,

particularly towards pupils, as it can

enable them to perform better in

there studies.

Finally, an introduction to traditional

games as a replacement for modern

games would bring unity and

togetherness between people, which

would contribute towards improving

their social and communicational

skills, and as a result transforming

them into better citizens.

The Benefits:

Traditional games have many benefits

however not many people know about them.

Compared to the more modern game such as

video games which contain violent and quite

often inappropriate content, traditional games

do not expose you to things that may cause

harm in any way. Traditional games are more

communicational and harder, causing you to

work your brain harder, unlike computers and

consoles which are quite basic and

occasionally do not increase your knowledge.

Nowadays people are usually lying on a couch

staring at a screen, not burning off all the fat

they gain from the snacks they are always eat-

ing. However when playing you are always

busy thinking, working out new strategies or

new methods of winning/succeeding, you

won’t have time to eat.

Computer and video games usually contain

inappropriate and violent content. Many other

dangers and hazards of computer and video

games are things such as: Hacking, Viruses,

etc. But traditional games can not be hacked,

can’t contain viruses and do not contain

inappropriate and violent content.

Memory Games:

Memory games can help us remember lists, lessons,

etc. This improvement in our memory can cause a

lot of benefits and help us in our day to day lives.

Strategic Games:

Strategic games can help us analyse the situation

and how to work around tough problems, this can

also help us in our day to day lives and can help us

improve our analysing skills.

These games are games that really test your ability,

every time you play you will come back with an

improvement to your mental strengths. They help

us develop our brains and can help us gain more

“Brain Power.”

maths skills, they will bring maths into your life
