![]() At the University of Auckland in New Zealand, researchers asked 94 young people diagnosed with depression to play a 3D fantasy game called SPARX and in many cases, the game reduced symptoms of depression more than conventional treatment. There is also evidence that gaming can help with psychological problems. Scientists have found that women who play games are better able to mentally manipulate 3D objects. Additionally, video games can also reduce gender differences. In another study by researchers from the University of Rochester in New York, experienced gamers were shown to be able to pay attention to more than six things at once without getting confused, compared with the four that most people can normally keep in mind. It was also found that the best gamers can make choices and act on them up to six times a second, four times faster than most people. People who play action-based games make decisions 25 per cent faster than others and are no less accurate, according to one study. Games also benefit a variety of brain functions, including decision-making. This is useful for driving at night, piloting a plane or reading X-rays. Vision is also improved, particularly telling the difference between shades of grey. A study of surgeons who do microsurgery in Boston found that those who played video games were 27 per cent faster and made 37 per cent fewer errors than those who didn't. Pre-school children who played interactive games such as the ones available on Wii have been shown to have improved motor skills, for example they can kick, catch and throw a ball better than children who don’t play video games. ![]() Games can help to develop physical skills.

You could call it “Cookie – Milk” or “Potato – Yam” or anything else you can think of. You can use any words that you like for this game. Having an objective judge for the game (such as an adult) can help with elimination decisions. Players A and B then close the gap between one another and Player B begins the round again by saying either “Zip” or “Bong”Ī player is also eliminated when they take too long to respond, usually around a second. For example, if Player A says “Zip” passing the turn to Player B on their left, but Player C instead speaks or laughs, mistakenly believing it’s their turn, then Player C is out of the game. Players are eliminated from the circle when they laugh or speak out of turn. This second player has the opportunity then to say “Zip” or “Bong,” passing the turn to the player on their left or right. The first player says “Zip” or “Bong” which passes the turn to the player to their left or right. A player is chosen to initiate the gameplay. Players form a circle or stand/sit closely together. The objective of the game is to eliminate players who speak out of turn or take too long to respond. In this game, saying “Zip” passes the turn to the player to the left, while saying “Bong” passes the turn to the right. The game continues until there are only two players left – both of whom will be declared the winners. ![]() ![]() ![]() Only the player whose turn it is may speak, and they can only say “Zip” or “Bong.” Also, if you speak out of turn or laugh, you’re out. If you don’t respond within a second when it’s your turn, you’re out. The next player must respond quickly, within a second, by saying “Zip” or “Bong” to pass the turn. If they say “Bong” it passes to the player to their right. The first player says “Zip” or “Bong.” If they say “Zip, the turn passes to the player at their left. Form a circle, standing closely together. ![]()
