We believe that Minecraft is a great video game for kids!
All in all, there are plenty of possible IQ benefits to playing Minecraft, but here are some of the best that could be good for your kids brain. My kids are getting too much fun but of course they have some daily limits.Minecraft is a game where players build structures and landscapes out of textured three dimensional cubes. There are two main modes:Creative mode: In creative mode, you basically just build stuff. You can watch a sunrise over a blocky ocean that you’ve created yourself. You can even fly.This is the mode that you should encourage your children to use. In creative mode, players have unlimited resources and there’s no monsters or threats to your life.Survival mode: Survival mode is more like a standard video game. You collect food and resources and make your way through various landscapes. You get chased by nocturnal monsters (the game has its own timezone) and generally try to stay alive. When you die in "survival mode" you lose all your resources and have to start again. Any structures that you've built along the way, however, stay in place.Then there’s “multiplayer”: Different people have set up different games of Minecraft and when you play multiplayer you can join them. You just Google “Minecraft multiplayer URLs” for a list, put in the URL that you want to join and start playing.This means that your kids are online with strangers. I would not recommend letting your kids play multiplayer unless you apply either one of the following caveats:Whitelisting: Your child or their friends can create their own multiplayer server and allow only people they know to play with them. It's a bit like a private Facebook page where you only 'friend' and share with people you actually know. When you create your own server you get the option to create a 'whitelist' – which is where you list all the usernames of the people who will be allowed to play on your multiplayer server.You can create your own server on the Minecraft website. The option comes up when you hit 'download.'Use a family-friendly server: Intercraften is a "family-friendly Minecraft server". They claim constant vigilance via the presence of an administrator and they apparently ban the IP addresses of people who do not comply with the Intercraften 'rules'.I liken it to leaving your kids in the park with a trusted adult; if you trust Intercraften to be as vigilant as you would be ... go ahead.But going back to the pros: Minecraft is cheap. About $30 gets you a login and all ongoing updates are free. You can buy one login and all your kids can play on it (just not at the same time, but they can take it in turns to play on the same login) So you get a lot of bang for your buck.So what’s the final verdict? Is it okay to let kids play Minecraft? Minecraft requires some basic maths skills to create structures and landscapes out of the three dimensional blocks so it's probably suitable for kids aged seven and up.It provides the following benefits for children's learning:- spatial awareness- basic maths concepts- creativity- problem solving- Still unsure about Minecraft?- Think of it this way: Minecraft is like television or Facebook. It’s okay as long as you:Keep an eye on what they are doing with it. Put definite time limits and rules around its use.
