Almost everyone, from little children to adults, lovesgames. The types of games may change and get more complex as we grow up, but ourenjoyment never changes. Playing games is both fun and useful, because games teach us theskills we need in life.
First of all, playing games teaches us that everything we do causes something else to happen. If we bit a ball, it will land somewhere or someone will try to catch it. If we make certaincombinations with cards, we'll earn points. So when we play a game, we learn there is alwayscause/effect relationship. We learn to pay attention to what's happening around us and see howpeople react to what we do.
Playing games also teaches us how to deal with other people. We learn about teamwork, if thegame has teams. We learn how to assign tasks according to each person's skill. We learn howto get people to do what we want, and we learn that sometimes we have to do with otherpeople want.
Game playing teaches us how to follow rules to achieve something. In a game, the rules havebeen worked out in advance and make the game go more smoothly.

We learn how todevise a plan for reaching our goal. We learn strategy.
