Definition:
A campaign in gaming is like your kid's favorite series of books. It's the main story mode or sequence of missions in a video game that a player needs to complete. Just as Harry Potter must go through seven books of adventures, a gamer goes through multiple levels or tasks to beat the game's campaign.
Why It Matters:
When kids mention they're playing a game's campaign, they're really immersing themselves in the game's story and world. It’s a commitment they're excited about and can offer lots of conversation opportunities about what they're experiencing, just like talking about a novel's plot.
Grown-Up Tip:
To connect, you might ask, "What part of the campaign are you on and what are you trying to accomplish right now?" These open-ended questions will give your kid a chance to share their gaming adventures with you, just like they do with their books.
