ABOUT THE PROJECT

Games are one of the  the basic necessities that can  keep children entertained and happy. The initial socialization processes of children begin through games , and the effect of games on the development of the child's personality, intelligence and certain skills cannot or should not be be ignored. We can also acquire many ideas about the mood, intelligence, sociality and developmental characteristics of the child when they are  playing games. The child always reflects these during the game sessions. Children are be able to  reinforce what they have learned through games and improve their emotions and skills.

Games are  important tools via which children can express themselves comfortably and develop their creativity. Today it is also an educational tool. We are all sure that The use of games in education is  an effective way. As teachers   we use games to help students gain motivation, socialize, reinforce what they have learned and increase their self-confidence. Not only physical games can make these, but digital games should also be used in education.

We normally planned to end our Project in the beginning of May; but during the pandemi process we decided to continue with distance training as we saw that games were needed more than ever before.
