In today's technology-driven world, children's time is often occupied by video games or electronic products. Long-term lack of exercise can lead to obesity, physical weakness and other problems. Appropriate indoor games are very helpful for children's physical health. Let's explore the benefits of indoor exercise for children.
1. Promotes Physical Fitness
Some indoor games, such as crawling games, push-up competitions, skipping ropes, shuttlecock kicking and high-reaching games, can effectively improve children's physical coordination and balance. In addition, sports games such as indoor basketball and badminton can also enhance children's cardiopulmonary function.
2. Improve work and rest and improve sleep
Regular indoor activities for children can help them establish a good routine and form a fixed biological clock, thereby improving their sleep quality.
3. Promotes Language and Communication Skills
In the indoor play area, children can stimulate their desire to express themselves through activities such as role-playing, and improve their interpersonal communication skills in the process of interacting with other children.
4. Mood Regulation
Indoor games can provide teenagers with a way to vent their emotions, such as indoor badminton, puzzle games, Sudoku, or indoor trampolines in playgrounds, etc., which allow them to secrete a large amount of dopamine during exercise, which is very helpful for emotional regulation.
5. Improves Concentration and Focus
Infants or children can focus more easily on the game tasks when playing games in a relatively quiet or closed environment indoors, such as playing jigsaw puzzles or building blocks.
6. Sensory Stimulation
Many indoor game props and scenes have bright and varied colors, such as colorful building blocks, puzzles, painting tools, etc. Through rich colors, children's attention is attracted and their ability to perceive colors is promoted.
7. Safe Exploration
Indoor playgrounds provide a relatively safe environment for children. Their facilities are usually made of environmentally friendly and non-toxic materials, and the corners are polished and rounded. For small babies who like to chew, these materials are designed so that even if they chew accidentally, it will not cause harm to the body.
8. Development of Fine and Gross Motor Skills
Indoor playground activities are essential for the development of children's fine motor skills. Through building blocks, puzzles, painting tools, hand-made materials, etc., children can exercise the flexibility and coordination of their fingers through actions such as grasping, holding, pinching, twisting, inserting, and sticking, which can also promote the development of the brain.
9. Structured and Unstructured Play Balance
The indoor playground in the mall provides children with unique play structures and indoor play equipment, such as parent-child craft courses. Such structured activities can enhance the relationship between parents and children. In addition, it also has a special children's play area, including carousels, trampolines, climbing frames, etc. These unstructured games can help children expand their thinking and learn to explore and try independently.
10. Fostering Teamwork
In indoor games in the playground, children usually play "house" games. In the allocation of roles, children can develop a sense of teamwork and responsibility. At the same time, when encountering some problems, children will learn to discuss and solve them with each other, which is very helpful in improving their teamwork ability.
Indoor play brings countless benefits to children, from cognitive enlightenment, physical function training, to social and emotional cultivation and development. Parents can make full use of family games or indoor playground activities to create more opportunities for children to play.
