Summary
If we look at computer games for education, games have been developed for young children to learn numbers, letters, colors, and all these things while socializing.
If we see a shooting game while playing it, if it is a multiple-player game, people will get a chance to associate with their close friends.
A variety of games have been created that decorate the environment, drive vehicles, and the games including management.
So we want to guide children not only to play games but also to create games.
Children benefit from educational games with descriptive and colorful visuals, child-friendly games, creative and age-appropriate content, and attractive games.
"Normally, in the education sector, children learn using traditional methods. But gamification can be used as a new media tool in the primary education system. Applying subjects to a video game and using video games will help children to learn more practically and willingly. As the researchers say, "gamification is the use of game thinking, approaches, and elements in a context different from the games.
The child gets educational games with descriptive and colourful visuals, as well as child-friendly, creative, age-appropriate, and curiously appealing games.
