The Nintendo DS console is bringing different games to girls over 3 years old to market this month (according to PEGI). They are the games Imagine Being… and each one proposes to the participant to perform the tasks through the game pretending to be a mom, cook, veterinarian, designer, etc.
Imagine being ... mom, he moves the participants of the game to a town to live with his grandmother and while studying, he will help the neighbors to take care of their children, in the game they will find six babies with different characteristics and they will have to give them the bottle, change the diapers, play , buy what they need, etc.
Imagine being ... cook, enter the culinary world through the game, knowing the kitchen utensils, combining ingredients, preparing delicious meals, etc., all this to pleasantly surprise diners. These games can be educational, but they have raised the alarm of machismo, why a girl is instilled through the game what her tasks will be when she grows up. Maybe you don't have to be so radical, because what matters most and what the gender cliché depends on is the education you receive at home.
Criticism is always at the forefront, and that is that for tastes there are colors, each parent has their criteria and will consider whether war games are good for their children and if kitchenette games are good for their daughters, the most important thing is that Parents educate, teach their children to discern a real-life game and educate them about gender equality.
But before these new games, what do you think?
