Benefit #4: Development of Strategy Skills
Board games are a great way for an 8-year-old to develop their strategy skills, as the child has to think through each move and potential consequences of that move. In some board games, such as chess, there is significant emphasis on coming up with a strategic plan and anticipating the next few steps in order to win. An 8-year-old learning these games will gain valuable analytical skills as they study the board and learn how best to deceptively outmaneuver their opponent. Additionally, any cooperative board game requires strategizing among multiple players, and this helps children learn to work together towards a common goal. As children progress with age appropriate board games like Chinese Checkers or Catan, they build on their strategy skills and improve problem-solving abilities which help them in all other areas of life.

Benefit #5: Family Bonding: Board games are a great way to bridge the generation gap and help build relationships between eight year olds and their parents, grandparents or older siblings. They provide a shared space for children and adults to discuss their lives, interests, passions and feelings. As board games become interactive experiences, they foster a sense of communication, responsibility, strategy and trust that strengthens the family relationship. Playing these games with 8 year olds also helps them appreciate how different generations can work together towards a common goal. Additionally, such activities help children learn how to collaborate with people of various ages in both fun and challenging ways.
