- With the help of games, children can be easily attracted and taught, - the trainers of our project claim. - And practice shows that information presented to children in a ready–made form is absorbed by 50-60%, and what they are directly involved in is absorbed by 90%. Interactive methods of presenting information help to form a certain set of emotions and knowledge in children, to awaken their desire for self-education, the realization of their ideas, the development of initiatives, and allow them to actively use their creative potential.
