Features: The cultivation of small life habits during early childhood directly influences a child's lifestyle and temperament in adulthood. Many teachers or parents believe that playing games can easily lead to neglecting studies, and thus they should be minimized in favor of reading. Children are constantly urged by their parents to study at home and warned by teachers in school not to play "dangerous games." The time and space for playing are constantly restricted. Gradually, children forget the feeling of playing freely, and when it comes to games, they may only think of ready-made toys or video game consoles, which are indeed very limited in content. In fact, games hold significant meaning in a child's life. Because children often learn how to get along with others, cooperate in groups, and adhere to behavioral norms through group games. As a result, the concept of "growing up through games" carries profound meaning. Compared to modern audio-visual entertainment, traditional games can better promote the holistic development of a child's body and mind. Therefore, encouraging children to experience the joy of games can also be seen as laying a foundation for cultivating their well-rounded personality with qualities such as sociability, enthusiasm, and responsibility.
