One factor that we should consider when working with Young Learners is that Children's instinct for play and fun. at their age, they just like to play and have entertainment. Thus, learning should be centered at playing so that they gain the input indirectly.
I wish i know this fact even earlier. Before this, i always mad at my younger brothers and sister if they kept playing games and ignoring their school homework. At that time, I thought games just wasting times. This fact is very important and every parents and teachers or anybody who deal with children should know this because it is crucial for the children's development and improvement.
The introduction to children softwares and games make me realizes how games actually stimulates learning. For example, my group had been given a softwares of a game entitled "Freddie Fish". This game is very entertaining and interactive. There were so many features that i found is meant for children for their cognitive growth as well as social growth. The characters are cartoon that surely catch children's attention as children like cartoon. The learning point that is emphasized in this game is PROBLEM SOLVING. It is indirectly taught while pupils play the game. the player should help Freddie the fish solves his problem by finding some clues.
Such games are useful and worth it to bring into the class. Pupils not just have fun but also learn something indirectly. I will surely introduce this kind of softwares to my younger sister,nephews and nieces. Surely they will enjoy it becasue even me myself was enjoying the game.v(",)V..
