At SIMA Abacus, we believe play is not just fun—it’s foundational to how children learn, grow, and develop sharp minds. Whether it’s a preschooler building patterns or a preteen solving puzzles, games that challenge the brain also build character.
As we nurture young minds, here are some recommended games for children aged 3 to 13 that combine fun with focus-building, memory and logic—just the kind of balance we champion at SIMA.
For Ages 3–5: Building Early Brainpower
At this stage, play should involve colors, shapes, sorting, and movement.
