Benefits of Online Food Games for Children

written by Amila Gamage Wickramarachchi December 15, 2022
Benefits of Online Food Games for Children

Are there benefits of online food games for children? As a mom, I always worry about too much screen time. This is why I limit my son’s screen time while keeping an eye on his activities. However, we cannot completely avoid them from the internet and online activities. Therefore, with a better understanding of the benefits of online tools, we can easily allow children to spend quality time using them for their benefit. Are online food games beneficial for children? This is my burning question right now.

Recently I shared a post mentioning the benefits of playing cooking games with kids. I considered both physical and online cooking games to play with kids in that post. I used to play cooking games with my son when he was a toddler and I still play with him to encourage cooking. In today’s post, I will only consider online games to see whether these games give benefits to kids or not.

In my research on the benefits of online cooking games, I found below benefits. However, keep in mind that if you lose control over your child’s online activities, he may end up with addicting to games as well. Therefore, we should be clever enough to take the advantage of gaming instead of getting addicted to it.

Below are what I found.

Education in a fun and enjoyable way

Most food games are developed with education in mind. Therefore it is easy to choose educational online food games for kids. But, we parents know that children do not like to spend much time on educational activities. But, when we introduce education through fun activities, they will like it. This is the best benefit of food games as children can gain knowledge without spending a hard time studying.

This coffee shop game is a game that teaches children about inventory, strategy, pricing, and predicting demand when running a food business.

Benefits of Online Food Games for Children

Improve interest in food and cooking

Another benefit of playing online food games is that kids will improve their interest in food items and ingredients. With better knowledge of how their meal is prepared, they can build interest in food and their meal. Menu planning or cooking their meal are other benefits when they grow. On the other hand, knowing about the ingredients and cooking may improve the eating habits of picky eaters like my son.

This Burger Shop game is such a food game that we played recently. It is a simulation game and the player who plays this food game should serve the customers making their orders.

Benefits of Online Food Games for Children

Above are the most interesting and important benefits for me. Therefore, after researching around,I allow my son to play online food games during his screen time. However, same as benefits there are also disadvantages of online games. These games can be addictive. Also, online gaming sites may include advertisements that are not age-appropriate. Therefore, as parents, we should always look for a safe cyber environment when allowing children to play games. In this way, we can attract only the benefits of online food games for children.
