We no longer play games together as a group like we used to. Back then, families had more than one child, and it was fun to play games like Monopoly and others with them. It was fun to play games and talk with other people. Free online games are great for both the child and the parents, especially since many families only have one child.
Imagine parents worrying about their child, asking, "Who will play with our child?" Will he or she never play group games on board, like we did when we were kids? Will my child never know how fun board games can be? Please don't worry about that anymore. Your child can play games with the computer as if it were a friend. Yes, I agree that it may not be the same as playing with other kids, but we can't have our cake and eat it too.
Kids should play board games. A child likes the pictures that come up in games like Monopoly. Young minds can learn a lot from their imaginations. Do the same thing on your computer. Find a good site that has free online games you can play. At first, you can play a few free online games with your child. Once you know what games are good for your child, you can show him or her how to play them.
Let the child enjoy playing games against the computer's skill. Slowly make the game harder, and let your child learn new skills while having fun. These games will not only make him or her happy, but they will also make him or her smarter. They will also keep you from feeling bad that your child doesn't have anyone to play with. Online games are a great thing for single-child families.
