The North Kaohsiung Family Service Center stated that in recent years, there has been a "board game craze," making it one of the popular parent-child activities. While board game cafes are abundant in urban areas, the Qishan rural region lacks such resources. Therefore, they specially arranged for a board game instructor to teach, giving parent-child pairs in rural areas the opportunity to learn these trendy games.
The North Kaohsiung Family Service Center noted that in recent years, a “board game craze” has emerged, becoming one of the popular parent-child activities. Urban areas are filled with board game shops, but the Qishan rural area has few such resources. As a result, they specifically arranged for a board game instructor to conduct lessons, allowing parent-child pairs in the rural region to also learn these currently popular board games.
To make child protection advocacy more engaging, the event used board games to teach the “No Need to Hit Kids” Happy Parenting Five Steps—five simple stress-relief steps for parents and children—with the aim of effectively preventing child abuse.
This was followed by the highlight of the event: a parent-child unplugged co-play session. The course featured 13 different types of board games. “7 ATE 9 Number Twist” tested children’s mathematical logic and reaction skills; “Blokus,” which requires strategic thinking and spatial awareness, sparked interactive discussions between parents and children; fast-paced games like “Super Rhino” and “Crazy Lemming Rabbit” helped children meet new friends from different schools, thereby expanding their social circles. The day’s activities concluded in a joyful atmosphere filled with laughter.
Wei Zongyin, director of the North Kaohsiung Family Service Center, expressed hope that more people would join in supporting the center’s child welfare efforts, ensuring that every child can grow up in a safe and secure environment.
