In my opinion educational video games are helpful for many reasons. Kids spend lots of time playing games, so why not learn while playing games? Games let you learn how to solve problems, see how well you are doing, have fun, and work with a team.  Video games also allow you to be creative. Some games let you unlock levels, solve puzzles, or even build cities.  

Educational video games let children work at their own speed. It’s fun to beat a level of a game. Kids would want to learn more, so they can level up. Kids can also see how they are improving. If you beat a level in a math game, you can go to the next level.  

You can learn with your friends and help each other if you play games online. Working as a team makes learning more exciting. Playing games can also help kids remember things. If it’s fun to practice math facts, you will practice and learn more. Playing video games make kids want to learn. These are the reasons that kids should play educational video games in the classroom.
