Benefits of Minecraft for Kids
We hear it all the time: don’t let kids have too much screen time! It hurts their eyes! It hurts their bodies! But what about the benefits of screen time and video games? The future, after all, is digital. While it’s important for children to balance physical activity and video games, video games have many benefits that are often overlooked.
Here are eight benefits for kids playing Minecraft.
Differences between Minecraft and Roblox
The biggest difference between Roblox and Minecraft is their structure. Minecraft is a standalone game where players create the world by manipulating blocks while Roblox is a system that gives you access to other games. This makes Minecraft more predictable in terms of content. Everyone plays with the same core content while Roblox players have a completely different experience right from the start based on their choice of game.
Where mods come from is one of the main differences between Minecraft and Roblox. Minecraft is updated with mods made by the core development team. In Roblox, every game is developed by another player. Minecraft mods are designed to adjust the experience that users are having while mods in Roblox completely change the experience.
Does Minecraft make you smarter?
Although there are no studies to confirm the increase in IQ level of children playing Minecraft. But with the amount of exploration, freehand, and decision making that the world of Minecraft has to offer, this fun adventure is sure to make you smarter and more creative. There are many factors involved in playing that can contribute to making your child smart, but here are the most plausible benefits of playing Minecraft:
Minecraft is an open-world game famous for the immense possibilities to build almost anything you your child can imagine. With 400 unique items and 926.1 quadrillion blocks per map, Minecraft offers unprecedented opportunities and unlimited creativity to recreate imaginary or real-world architecture or invent something entirely new.
Why Minecraft is good for kids
Minecraft is a good environment for kids to practice life skills. In the game, there are giant spiders called “creepers” that feed on avatars. This type of situation tests a child’s decision-making and problem-solving skills. Will they run or hide? Will creative thinking and critical thinking come into play later, if they have chosen to hide, how or where? Will they find a shelter or will they build a shelter?
This kind of situation will build in them a self awareness that they can do things to prevent things and they can develop foresight. In case they think they did everything to save their avatar but it still got eaten by creepers, be sure to help them find the lesson from that experience.
