Nowadays, both indoor games and outdoor games are very popular among children. Do some of us know the difference between the two, and when should we play indoor games? What are the benefits of the difference? I will explain it to you in detail below.
The meaning of indoor games
Our indoor games refer to entertainment activities carried out in closed or semi-enclosed spaces, covering places such as homes, shopping malls, professional venues, etc., without being disturbed by natural environmental factors such as weather and seasons. The core is to meet children's entertainment, social, and educational needs through artificially designed spaces, rules and facilities.
The meaning of outdoor games
Our outdoor games are recreational activities with natural environments or open spaces as activity venues, including natural scenes such as mountains, grasslands, beaches, and urban open areas such as parks and squares. Its core features are deep interaction with the natural environment and active participation of children's bodies.
Benefits of indoor games
Our indoor games are rich and varied. Traditional leisure games such as board games and chess emphasize multi-person interaction and strategic thinking; sports and competitive games include indoor rock climbing, trampolines, electric karts, etc., and technology experience games use VR and AR technology; parent-child interaction games are mainly based on building blocks and hand-made production to promote family emotional communication. In terms of function, our indoor games can provide in-depth social scenes for small groups, and children can also achieve cross-regional online through electronic games. Indoor games are not affected by natural factors such as weather and seasons. In addition, indoor playgrounds are usually equipped with complete safety facilities and comfortable environments, such as equipment equipped with anti-slip mats, to create a relaxed, safe and pleasant atmosphere for children.
Benefits of outdoor games
We also have a wide variety of outdoor games. Natural exploration games such as hiking and camping require parents and children to adapt to the terrain and weather and achieve goals in nature; sports and competitive games such as football, skateboarding, and surfing emphasize speed, skills, and teamwork; leisure and entertainment games such as frisbee and picnics focus more on the relaxed atmosphere and social experience of children. Compared with indoor games, outdoor games allow children to enjoy natural light and fresh air, strengthen their physical fitness through exercise, and learn ecological knowledge through exploration. They have a positive effect on improving children's psychological quality, cultivating adventurous spirit and team awareness, and are an important way for children to get close to nature and release vitality.
How to choose between the two games?
If we pursue natural experience and physical release, outdoor games have more advantages！
Natural light, fresh air, and changing terrain can activate children's multiple senses such as vision, hearing, and touch. Outdoor games usually require children to continue physical exercise, which can more efficiently improve cardiopulmonary function and muscle endurance. The irregular terrain in the natural environment can exercise children's physical coordination. Studies have shown that the natural environment can significantly reduce anxiety levels. The broad vision and unrestrained activities in outdoor games make it easier for people to get rid of psychological constraints.
If we like controllability and diverse experiences, indoor games are more suitable！
First, indoor games are not affected by weather and seasons. For example, escape rooms and VR games can be carried out at any time, which is suitable for people who are sensitive to the environment. Indoor space can be precisely divided into functions through artificial design to meet the experience of different groups of people.Second, indoor venues are usually equipped with complete protection measures and have a lower risk factor; and most indoor game venues are located in the city center, and the transportation convenience is better than that of remote outdoor natural scenic spots. Indoor games provide low-risk sports scenes, exercise logical thinking through brain games such as Go and puzzle games, and avoid physical damage in extreme outdoor environments.
Synergistic comparison of indoor and outdoor multiple abilities
In outdoor games, we mainly cultivate teamwork, adventurous spirit, and survival skills in natural exploration, which is suitable for the tempering of teenagers' will. Outdoor games allow children to intuitively understand the laws of nature and establish an emotional connection with the environment. It is the best way to "immersive" ecological education.
Indoor games mainly improve social emotional intelligence through regular interactions. Science and technology games can cultivate children's innovative thinking, and the comfort of indoor scenes can promote in-depth communication. We can also break through the limitations of time and space through artificially designed theme scenes, allowing people to acquire knowledge in a virtual or condensed environment, so that children can learn a lot of knowledge.
The above is a detailed explanation of the difference between the two and their benefits. A truly healthy lifestyle is to switch flexibly according to needs.
