Minecraft Book Teaches Kids to Be More Organized
Kadokawa released a book that aims to use Minecraft to teach children how to clean up after themselves and improve their organization skills. The book, which loosely translates to Level Up With Fun Learning: Minecraft - Cleaning on Your Own, costs 1210 JPY ($8.15), and you can find it in bookstores around Japan. There’s no word regarding a worldwide release yet. [Thanks, Dengeki Online!] The book combines charts and manga, along with familiar Minecraft characters, to make it easier for children to learn how to read about cleaning and organization. There are also some activities to “game-ify” chores and turn it into a game. For example, one of the pages shows a chart that’ll let you know what type of cleaner you are based off your habits and personality. All the “type” names draw from Minecraft, such as the Slime type and the Enderman type. Another one shows a picture of a messy table, with the game asking for kids to find three “bad spots” about the table that they absolutely have to fix. Images via Kadokawa Edutainment, or educational entertainment, has been around for generations. Aside from video games like Reader Rabbit or The Cluefinders to foster an interest in learning via games, schools and educators have been using games to make school interesting for kids. Back in October 2021, Aeon Fantasy used Pokemon Unite to improve children’s strategic and critical thinking, as well as communication on a team. Minecraft is available on multiple platforms, including Windows PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices.
