The Importance of Video and Computer Games

By Krish Rock


It was only in the 1970 when video games started becoming a tool for entertainment and fun. Ever since, the industry of video and computer games has not looked back. The entertainment industry saw video games increase at a galloping speed in the next few decades. In the world of technology and innovation, computer games have played an important role.

Let's take a look at which types of games would be enjoyable for those smaller children, which are both simple and fun. Especially in a birthday party type of setting, games like catch the balloons and tag would be the easiest to play. However, more adventurous activities like duck, duck, goose and red light, green light would get those tykes out and active.

Interestingly both groups of the respective cohorts patterned different distributions for parametric testing.'Time on Game' seemed to fit into a statistical lognormal curve for flash games whereas a gamma curve for console games, this startling fact seems to suggest that flash games players gain more exposure to variety, whereas their console game counterparts are likely to get thematically stuck.

Games include adventure games, action games, educational and knowledge games, simulations or role playing games, practice games, math games, logical games, and strategy and management games among other types.

A pretty safe assumption for most events is that there will be a good mixture of children of all different ages, from toddlers to teenagers. Planning which types of games can be played with everybody together will obviously be the most challenging of any other scenario. In these types of situations, activities like the egg toss, basketball, football, dodge ball and even foot races would be entertaining.

No matter what kind of children's party games are played, there are definitely a few simple rules to keep in mind when planning everything out. The first bit of knowledge to keep in mind when picking out games to play is to remember who the games are for. Activities that are too challenging can turn people off to the fun.

Also remember that where the party is taking place could easily determine what restrictions or extra options people have for everybody's enjoyment. When it is all said and done, if all the children who leave the party do so with smiles on their faces, consider it a job well done.
