DayCare Escondido is here to tell you about some games which can make your kid a smart one and an intelligent one by very simple steps. Even when choosing what to wear for college, ask your child to think about the weather, what activities he would like to interact in (such as playing within the sandpit or water), etc. Teach your child the words to use to form these choices, by using them yourself once you mention them. you’ll be extending his vocabulary also as his ability to think things through carefully.

Some Decision Making Games for your Kids

A memory game can be played with a set of picture cards (with exact pairs). This is how you play:

  • Turn all the cards face down on the table
  • Take turns to choose two cards each and turn them face up
  • If the cards match, you keep them
  • If they don’t match, you turn them both face down
  • Continue turning two at a time until all the cards have been matched 
  • The winner is the person with the most cards at the end

This large checkers game is often played outdoors and features a Tic Tac Toe board on the reverse side.

Monopoly may be a fun game to play as a family. Start with Monopoly Junior but later teach your children to play the adult game once they are ready. This game requires tons of strategic thinking and making decisions about buying and selling investments. This is an excellent game to get engrossed and spend a lot of time together.

6. Build Me a…

For this activity use Lego or blocks and challenge your child to create a stimulating structure, choosing between two options. Some ideas:

Build me an airport or a zoo

Build me a parking zone or a castle

Build me a tall tower or a cottage

Ask them to build anything that is in their reach and they are  able to understand it. This game not only helps them make their decision making skills better but also increases their vocabulary towards different things in life.
