12 Best Electronic-Free Games to Keep Kids Busy

July 16, 2018 | Published by Shreiya

With technology dominating our lives from work to entertainment, I wonder if we can survive the old fashioned way (or raise successful kids). The way when technology was part of our lives but, did not rule it. That was the childhood I enjoyed. I had few electronic toys, no screens and lots of fun games, which required me to team up.

Electronic-free games are great at nurturing social skills. Instead of looking for a stranger to play with online, these tech-free games require children to find a buddy. Thus, nurturing their social skills. No wonder teamwork came naturally to us!

What makes these tech-free games more important than ever is our addiction with screens and technology. You don’t want to raise children who are dependent on their tablets to entertain them! Neither would you want them to be constantly burying their faces behind screens. And you want to improve their gross motor skills beyond stubby fingers and a hunchback.

Here are a few electronic-free fun games for your kid to fall in love with:

1. Dobble

A great concentration building game for children 5years and up. It comes with as many as 5 variations to play. A sleek card game, Dobble doubles up as a perfect travel game as well.
