Guess what I’m not giving up this year?
Let me not keep you in suspense…It’s games! 🤭
Last year, I set a very achievable goal for myself to complete 5 video games and tracked that goal on channel3.gg, a social platform for gamers of all types. I had so much going on last year that I just wasn’t sure just how I was going to find the time. But you know what? Not only did I finish 5 games…I finished 11 instead!
2025 games completed, showing the game covers for It Takes Two, Echoes of Wisdom, Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door, Super Mario Bros Wonder, Little Kitty Big City, Fears to Fathom, Zool, A Castle Full of Cats, Dungeons of Hinterberg, Dave the Diver, Split Fiction, Going Under
I am a 100% true believer in the power of play and games. You can have a great time and still be leveling up your critical thinking, teamwork, observation, resilience, fine motor skills…SKILLS in general! Skills that can be applied in many areas of life, including work and working on a team. Video games are a great vehicle for stealth learning.
This year, I’ve doubled my goal and I’m excited to keep growing and, most importantly, having fun.
Is there something fun or playful that you won’t be giving up this year? Should I do a deeper dive into which mainstream video games develop what skills?
Hope your year’s off to a great start!
