Summary/Abstract: Games are a natural part of childhood. Children take it as fun, relax, gaining new experiences or skills. In the past, children used to play classical games; they were throwing dice and moving stick figures. Nowadays it is different. They use mobile phones, tablets and computers to play games. The benefits of playing digital games include developing children’s knowledge and skills. A child can choose any online game he or she wants. In some games, the player has to solve teasers and various tasks that develop memory and thinking. Task solving and decision making in games increases a child’s autonomy, in group games they learn to work with others.
