what do you think about the dying art of traditional games?

Question

just like how the 'in-thing' those days were traditional games like board games and hopscoth and top-spinnig...these days, computer games and video games are owerpowering everybody's minds and actions. wat are your opinions on the fact that ppl are now forgetting traditional games?

Answer 1

Other than it's dying them green? lol It's hampering the development of socializing skills: conversational give & take, argument solving, waiting your turn, losing or winning gracefully, etc. Children grow up lacking perspective on what is normal and acceptable human behavior, and may suffer more than necessary themselves, as well as annoy others.

It is "helping" us become more isolated, so that when we have to fill out a form and answer, "who to contact in case of emergency" for ourselves, or our child if we can't be reached, we have difficulty naming someone who would drop everything to help us.

Answer 2

Every thing is easy now a days. Children these days dont want to waste their time to sit for some board games or anyother indoor or outdoor games. They have the computer to play games so why would they waste their health.
The students who play computer games are halting the process of brain development and affecting their ability to control potentially anti-social elements of their behaviour.
The behaviour of the children r changing now a days.
they r becoming lazy,stubborn.

Answer 3

Well, my friends & I are board game fiends! Then again, we don't play many computer or video games.

A lot of traditional games have also made their way onto comp/vid, which is always lots of fun too. Especially when they come free in cereal boxes.

If you want your kids to be playing these kinds of things instead of comp/vid games etc, just take away the electronics and make sure to be there to play it with them. After all, one of the disadvantages of traditional games is how hard it is to play them by yourself.
