Who Knew… Guess Who?

In this very short post, we’re going to give you 5 reasons why you should be playing this game with your preschooler.
"Guess Who" is considered a great game for preschoolers because it encourages them to develop important cognitive skills like observation, critical thinking, and vocabulary by asking questions to identify a mystery person based on visual details like hair color, eye color, and facial features, all while practicing turn-taking and communication skills. 

Key benefits of playing Guess Who for preschoolers:

• Deductive or Logical reasoning:

  By eliminating possibilities based on answers, children learn to use logic and deduction to solve the puzzle. 

• Classification and Visual discrimination:

  The game requires children to carefully look at the faces on the cards and identify distinct features to narrow down their options. 

• Identity Construction- Descriptive Skills:

  Asking questions about specific characteristics helps children practice descriptive vocabulary related to appearance. 

• Language Development and Vocabulary Building

  Taking turns asking questions and listening to responses promotes cooperative play and communication. 

• Efficient Questioning Skills

  In the beginning, there will be repeated questions or overlapping questions asked. However, over time your child will become masterful at asking the right quesions.
