60 Minutes of Games Twice a Week Can Increase a Child’s IQ

You must schedule a time to occasionally put your devices away and just be in the real world in the age of video games and other digital distractions. Board games are a fantastic method to accomplish that. It's difficult to deny the pleasure you can have tearing into a round of Monopoly or Trivial Pursuit if you have the appropriate set of people. These games have been around forever. Additionally, if you introduce your children to board games, you're preparing them to be smarter than the typical bear.

The non-verbal IQ and cognitive speed of children who were instructed to play games for 60 minutes twice a week significantly improved. And even if you can't convince a child to unplug, there's still hope since some of the games that the children used to achieve these outcomes were electronic games. Additional research has revealed that children who play games like Chutes and Ladders exhibit enhanced math abilities. Even the so-called intelligence-boosting brain games actually help with working memory (but the promises of higher IQ are unfounded)
