Minecraft is one of the most played games by children aged 10 and up, with almost 131 million people playing Minecraft monthly.

Whilst most parents and teachers are aware of Minecraft’s popularity amongst kids, many don’t know that it can actually be used for educational purposes.

Minecraft can be used to teach an array of important life skills. Minecraft has been proven to improve a childs creativity, collaboration, problem solving and logical thinking skills.

However it does not end there. It also provides kids with other skills including teamwork, communication, time management and self-discipline.

Then there are the many academic benefits to playing Minecraft. When moving around the Minecraft world, children must use directions and maps. It also requires a lot of reading, sequencing and mathematical reasoning, which improves numeracy skills in children.

Minecraft Education Edition is another great tool to use Minecraft for education purposes. There are many different lessons and kits to choose from. The kits are arranged by subject which include multiple lessons based on topics such as;

* Sustainability and recycling
* Food production and energy systems
* Space exploration
* Energy transfer and units of measurement
* Writing and language
* Historical and geographical events
* Coding fundamentals
* Maths for all levels
* Art and design

Using Minecraft for educational purposes has many benefits for kids. It is also a way to get children motivated to learn and to create excitement around the learning process.
