It’s the day of the week when your entire family is around. Apart from the usual movies treats and family lunches/dinners, there’s one custom that you should follow during the weekends. Remember when you’re a kid, your folks would play board games with you? You probably sucked at them, but here’s your chance to redeem it!
Chess:
How can we leave this ancient game of strategy and manipulation off this list? This board game involves your thinking capabilities as you try to protect your King and Queen from the opposing army. You have to constantly monitor your moves and make sure that your men don’t killed off in the process. The game is so popular, some of its terms like ‘Check’ and ‘Checkmate’ are used in conversation English. It might be a lengthy game, but it’s quite a fun one.
The reason kids are encouraged to play games is because they learn to accept defeat and victory with the right emotion. They become stronger and wiser when they realise how important luck and strategies and intelligence are in life.
