Most of us played games as a child.

No matter what games we played there were lessons to be learned from each one. We learned our strengths and our weaknesses. We learned we could improve our skills with practice and patience. We learned the disappointment of defeat and the joy of success. We learned about strategies and what it is to take risks. We learned about playing fair.

Playing games taught us a great deal about others, the world we live in, and ourselves.

Although we began playing games as a child, the skills we acquired still serve us well.
