Computer games as carrots and sticks of motivation.

We utilize Good Deed tokens, which children can earn by engaging in various activities such as tidying up their rooms, doing dishes, brushing teeth, reading, writing, math, riding bikes, drawing, coloring, and solving puzzles. They can use these tokens to purchase gaming time, get extra treats, or acquire new games from Mom and Dad’s stores. Additionally, video games can serve as a disciplinary tool; in cases where a child misbehaves, they may earn “penalty points” that need to be redeemed before accessing video games.

We purchase them in advance, especially during the Steam sale. We buy a couple of video games to motivate the children to earn Good Deed tokens. The winter sale is one of those times when various types of computer games can be acquired relatively cheaply.

Its time to review your “wishlist”

Surely take a glance at your “wish list” of games, to see if any of them are available at a significant discount. If you don’t have a “wish list” of games yourself, you can look at what we’ve played last year; perhaps some of the games might appeal to you as well.

Mostly, we play relatively old games, so these games can often be purchased for less than 5 euros when there are discounts

Split-screen games, for fun and rivalry. So… double fun

If you’re planning a party, it might be useful to purchase split-screen games where multiple players can play together – 2 to 4 players on one screen.

These are games that we play quite regularly, especially when someone comes over as a guest.

Recently, a new version of the Steam Deck was released, and the older version is now available at a discounted price.

Video games as a motivation carrot and stick.

We use Good Deed money notes, which children can earn by doing various activities – tidying their room, doing the dishes, brushing their teeth, reading, writing, math, biking, drawing, coloring, and putting together puzzles. They can use these currency units to buy time for video games, purchase extra sweets, or buy new games from Mom and Dad’s stores.

Video games can also serve as a stick in cases when the child misbehaves – they can receive “penalty points” for bad behavior, which must be redeemed before they can play video games.

We buy them in advance during the Steam sale. We purchase a couple of video games to motivate the children to earn Good Deed money.

Lego Batman: Video game

Video from the game, sorry for bad quality. But idea is clear. In the game you have to brake and make objects from Lego blocks. Have to fight bad guys on the way solving some small puzzles.
This game is pretty and that is good as its hardware requirements are not demanding, at least for modern day. Game can be played by two sharing the screen. In our case that is perfect.

Don’t know any kid that does not like to play with Lego blocks or some kind of analog to Lego bricks. When i was small was fan of the Batman and looks like i have injected this int my kids.
But kids in general does not care so much about one super hero or other, they happy to play with any, all are good.
And maybe that’s even better as the discount is not only for Batman video game but also other games.
Most of the games, as i know, are playable by two on split screen.
Also parents can get pleasure of playing these games, just don’t forget to give the game to kids to play.

The Lego movie

No, dont say that you have not watched The Lego movie with kids. I know, its a bit dangerous, as kids could like and want Lego constructors even more. At this point any of Lego computer games will be cheaper than any Lego constructors.

The Lego movie – Game

The Lego movie – game, follows the story line of the movie. So kids can relive the animation, and be the main heroes.

Where to buy?

In the Steam platform there is discount for all the Lego games. Could be that for your kids more interesting, relatable is other supper-heroes or characters than Batman.
We suggest, if You loved The Lego movie, could be a better choice, as also in this game at some point you will be able to play as a Batman. So The Lego Movie: Videogame, could be better choice.

Btw, both games, can be played also on Linux if steam play is enabled.
