Most parents consider mobile games as addictive evils for their children. But with the penetration of mobile devices among people of all age-groups, it does not seem that these “evils” can really be eliminated from the lives of children. However, it is important to note that game apps which help children in the long-run can indeed be created. The possibility is a good news for entrepreneurs and parents, both. Many startups and entrepreneurs have already begun to tap this possibility outside India through iOS Game Development. In India, however, such initiatives have been few.
Following are three categories of ‘good’ game apps which must be explored by Indian entrepreneurs:
Games Which Improve The Psychometric Abilities Of Children
Psychometric abilities largely refer to sensory and cognitive skills. These skills can be improved in children by playing mazes, puzzles, and playing with geometric shapes. Entrepreneurs can take inspiration from such real-world cognitive skill enhancing tools to create innovative phone games. A super-successful example is of the tile-matching puzzle game, Tetris, whose layout invariably improves psychometric abilities.
Games Which Change Behavior
According to social cognitive theory, games that provide a player with relevant skills, knowledge, self-efficacy and motivation, can induce behavioral changes in the player. Based on this principle, a mobile game that inculcates vegetable feeding practices in parents has been recently developed. The principle can also be used to develop a mobile-based activity which inculcates desirable behavioral practices in children. So just like how Popeye, the spinach-loving cartoon helped generation-X overcome their fear of vegetable greenies, an iOS game that develops vegetable-eating practice in today’s children can surely be developed. All you need is to develop an idea which can be later executed by an iPhone game development company in India.
Games Which Improve Emotional Intelligence
Mindfulness is slowly gaining traction. Parents and teachers in the west are teaching mindfulness to children as young as age 4. The practice has been reported to deliver better behavior and educational performance in kids. Unsurprisingly, there are several games found in the app store, which teach emotional intelligence and mindfulness to kids. However, there are no such apps for Indian kids. Wanna-be entrepreneurs must definitely consider this avenue of game apps.
Considering the demand for mind enhancing tools for children, an app based on either of the above-mentioned ideas can prove to be a definite success. Moreover, a well-developed game idea can be translated into reality by an experienced iOS Game Development Company in India or elsewhere.
