Online games often get the bad rap as it involves sitting in front of a screen. However, online games have their advantages for young and old people.  Unlike watching television which is more passive, games require a level of interaction, brain power and skill from the player.  Games can be a concern for parents and teachers, but playing games can also have beneficial impacts for children and young people. In fact, older people may even benefit from playing online games like Solitaire, Mahjong and Sudoku.  Research has shown that playing games like Mahjong improves short-term memory, attention and logical thinking in both middle-aged and elderly people.
If parents manage their children’s gaming time, these children can reap some benefits through online games such as:
1. Computer and simulation fluency.
2. Helps with fast strategic thinking and problem-solving.
3. Improves a child’s online social skills.
4. Helps your child with attention to details.
5. Creates problem-solving and planning skills.
6. Helps build resilience.
7. Games like Minecraft help kids to practice their visual-spatial skills, leading to a better understanding of distance and space.
8. Beneficial for children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Alycia used to play PUBG Mobile with her high school classmates whenever they needed a break from online classes and in between revising for exams. She still plays this online game with her ertswhile classmates whenever the time is right for everyone to play together. There are many advantages of playing this game such as improves problem solving skills, enhances memory, improves social skills and improves brain speed.Â
Sometimes when I have too much on my mind, I escape from the harsh realities of life by jumping into the world of online games. My favourite online games are Super Tetris and Crossword Puzzle. Super Tetris is a brain exercise game. According to a study, brain imaging shows playing Tetris leads to a thicker cortex and may also increase brain efficiency.
Do you want to know where you can play online games like Super Tetris, Pacman, Crazy Eights, Tennis and many more for FREE? Check out Solitaire.org, a website where everyone can play fun online games for free and the best part is all the games can be quickly played from the browser on desktop computers, iPads, laptops, Kindle Fire and mobile devices.
Some of the online games that I find very engaging at Solitaire.org are crossword puzzle, Sudoku and Letter Scramble.  Our 13-year old youngest daughter who plays Sudoku occasionally managed to complete a Sukodu game within 7 minutes and 55 seconds.  She’s quite good at this game though she doesn’t play it regularly and I’m now getting tutorials from her! When I improve my Sudoku solving skill, I’m going to have a challenge with her! Sudoku improves one’s brain power, problem-solving and thinking skills.
Cass did well in Letter Scramble too.  Letter Scramble is a great game to improve one’s vocab and spelling ability. She gets to learn many new words each time she plays Letter Scramble. This game also helps to develop one’s intellectual ability.
Another game that I’ve tried at Solitaire.org and like is Hidden Object Games. This game is good at keeping me awake whenever I feel sleepy. Although it’s a game more suited for kids, I find that it helps me to destress while boosting my grey matter and awareness to details. This game has 10 levels which are timed. You may think that this is a kiddo’s game but it is not easy to locate some of the hidden things even at Level 1. Cass and I spent quite a bit of time finding the last hidden object, which is a piece of Chinese paper cutting and after a closer look and more thorough scan at the picture, she finally found the item hidden on top of a red Chinese lantern. This is one game that’s great for parent-child bonding.
Solitaire.org has over 100 browser-based games which you can easily find from their user-friendly website. There is a catalog which is located at the bottom of the website where all the games are listed, such as Solitaire, Mahjong, Card Games, Hidden Object Games and much more. And there’s no annoying advertisements on this gaming website. Another plus point!
If you’re a fan of online games and are looking for some free fun games to play, Solitaire.org is the place to go to. But play with caution as the games can be quite addictive 😉
