There are so many different games to play and they are constantly being updated and added to, so they never wear out. I think it can be addictive, partly because of the endless possibilities that it offers. This is why it’s important to make sure they get a balanced play diet, with plenty of active and creative play.
Although you don’t have to spend money to play the games, children may feel pressured to buy in-game currency.Īlso, as with any digital games, children risk missing out on other play opportunities if they spend all of their time on a screen, which are vital to learning and development. Roblox features Robux which can be earned or bought with real money. It lets players design their own games too, so may be a good introduction to game design and programming for children. It also has a chat function so children can talk to friends, which has been all the more valuable over the last year. Roblox has a wide range of games with some encouraging imaginative play and other skills such as team work. What are the benefits of children playing Roblox? We need to teach them how to be safe online just as we teach them how to cross the road. I like to compare this to road safety – if we never let our children cross the road, they won’t learn how to do it safely. Any digital world that children share with adults is going to have its risks, the important thing is how we manage this. I would say that Roblox is as safe as anything else online with a social element. In your opinion, do you think Roblox is safe for children? Here I talk to Dr Amanda Gummer, founder of The Good Play Guide to get her advice and thoughts. What you may not know is that this type of social media app which has a chat function aimed at children but has a guide age of 13 which is the same as Facebook and Instagram. So you can see how incredibly popular it is. In the United States, three-fourths of all U.S. kids between 9 and 12 years old use Roblox.
In the UK alone, there are around 1.5 million children playing Roblox, according to research firm Kids Insights. Roblox has become somewhat of a sensation and it seems that every child I encounter is currently playing it. Roblox is free to download and free to play on all modern smartphones, tablets, computers, Xbox One, Oculus Rift, and HTC Vive. Players can build the ultimate theme park, compete as a professional race car driver, star in a fashion show, become a superhero, or simply design a dream home and hang out with friends. The types of gameplay on Roblox are just as limitless as the imagination of the creators themselves.Īll the online games you see on the platform have been built by members of the Roblox community for members of the Roblox community. Roblox is a global platform where millions of people gather together every day to imagine, create, and share experiences with each other in immersive, user-generated 3D worlds.
