I still people who often misunderstood video games as a waste of time. Misunderstood is definitively the right word to use. Sadly we do not have a choice but to either wait around for them to accept it or give up in engaging totally. The school management even called some parents to discourage video games for kids at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpion Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 I never joined a gaming club either, but it sounds like a fun way to connect with classmates. I wish I had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizdustry Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 While I am not at school anymore, I can still remember my days at school. We didn’t have an after school gaming club but a lunchtime Minecraft club was arranged. Where you could spend your entire 40 minutes gaming on a local server with the class of like minded people.

That's intriguing! The Lunchtime Minecraft club sounds so amazing to me. I can feel the enjoyment in playing with your classmates. It will get more interesting if the club organizes competitions.

This is crazy though. It's still very much alive and well even though it's been slowly fading away as you said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sincerely understand the plight of the parents and i'm not trying to justify irresponsible gaming either. But there are lots of opportunities in the gaming world now. For instance, educational games can be used to improve our cognitive abilities. That's just one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is impressive. Organising kids or students in the school to play games will always be a beautiful experience as far as I am concerned.

Minecraft is a good game to play with friends . I so much enjoy the creative freedom and the multiplayer aspect. It made it perfect for a school club.

It's a way to promote teamwork, strategy, and problem-solving skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
