As an adult, if you think back at your childhood days, you’ll probably be flooded with pleasant memories of some of the games you played, whether it was a board game, word game, or sporting activity. Undoubtedly, games can help kids develop certain skills such as spatial awareness, problem-solving, comprehension and so much more. Moreso, children enjoy learning with educational games. In this light, Access Bank partnered with 9ijakids, an online educative gaming platform, to develop games that will appeal to every child and make them eager to learn.

The ongoing health crisis has forced the hands of many governments around the world to take drastic measures in a bid to curtail the spread of the virus and one of this measure includes asking its citizens to stay at home.

Some of the games include financial literacy games that are aimed at grooming money-savvy kids and other games including Science, Maths, English, Goal setting, Responsibility, About Nigeria, Values and so much more.

Also, the game, ‘Who Wants To Be A Millionaire’ will be hosted on Access Bank’s website and the top five kids stand a chance to win something exciting. The announcement will be made on Access Bank’s social media page on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. This is a chance for your kids to show just how much of a brainiac they are and have fun learning about the subjects they love.
