Stop thinking that modern children can only play on smartphones, consoles and computers.

Take a look at the playground on a nice day and you'll be left wondering what you thought.

And yet, these days, kids spend more time in front of screens than we, their parents, would like. Maybe it’s because they just don’t know what games to play? It’s time to fix that.

Yard games

Children who grew up without computers at one time loved ball games like "Edible-Inedible", "Potato", "Bouncers", drew hopscotch, and fought in snowballs in the winter. All the same games are popular now - the main thing is to find the right company.

Board games

Since many computer games were born from board games, there is no doubt that they will captivate your child. Now you can find entertainment for children of any age: Uno and Munchkin, Monopoly and Colonizers, Jenga... You can list them until the night. And what about the classics? Games like chess, checkers, sea battle and others are not only captivating, but also develop logic.
