答案                                                 Are games equally important for adults and children?
    Games are fun. This is true for adults and children alike. However, games also teach a variety of skills and they further every domain of a person’s development. This is particularly important during the early stages of life. Through games children learn gross motor and fine motor skills, they practice and develop the ability to use language, and they learn important interpersonal and social skills. Adults can use games to strengthen these areas, but their abilities are already much more advanced, and therefore games are more important for children.
    At play a child learns gross motor skills such as walking or jumping, which an adult has already mastered. Pushing a shopping cart, for example, teaches a toddler to balance his/her weight and to use his/her legs to support his/herbody. This activity is a game and an exercise at the same time, but it would be completely unnecessary for adults.
    Similarly, fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination are areas in which a child has much more to learn than an adult.
    Thus playing catch with a baseball has a much greater benefit to the young and inexperienced person.
    Language games allow children to practice and strengthen their language skills. Even simple singsong or rhyming games aid in this development. Needless to say, due to their advanced language ability, adults would not get much out of these simple ditties. In comparison, adult language games such as scrabble do not build but fine-tune vocabulary ability. Children are not able to compete here because they have not yet amassed enough knowledge.
    Elementary interpersonal and social skills ranging from communication to cooperation are also developed through play. Children learn systems of social rules when engaging in simple activities like pick-up football games. For example, they learn how to control themselves and to tolerate their frustrations around others. They also learn how to work in a team. These, of course, are abilities that are extremely important for adults as well, but, once again, children have more to learn.
