Games for Brain Building

Brain-Boosting Games for Children Aged 3–13.

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.

Recommended Games:

  • Stack & Sort Toys – Develops hand-eye coordination and early math.
  • Animal Puzzles – Enhances memory and spatial awareness.
  • Simon Says / Follow the Leader – Builds listening and motor skills.
  • Lego Duplo / Mega Bloks – Encourages creativity and motor planning.

SIMA Tip: Use colorful Abacus beads as toys to introduce numbers in a playful way!

For Ages 6–9: Fueling Curiosity & Problem Solving

Children at this age are exploring the world—and their brains are hungry for more challenge!

Recommended Games:

  • Chess (beginner level) – Enhances concentration, strategy, and patience.
  • Scrabble   – Improves vocabulary and spelling.

SIMA Advantage: We introduce visual and mental Abacus techniques at this stage to help children visualize numbers in fun, game-like formats.

As your child matures, they crave games that involve logic, creativity and competition.
