1 Student Opinion: Too much time spent playing video games can damage kids' brains By Margaret Buckler, student contributor, adapted by Newsela staff on Word Count 556 Level 610L Is playing video games bad for kids' brains? One student argues that they are. Image: Newsela staff It's an invasion! Nope, not an alien invasion a video game invasion. Video games are very popular with kids. A study was done in 2011 by the group NPD. It said that more than 9 out of 10 kids played video games. That number has probably only gone up since then. This article is available at 5 reading levels at 1
2 Children have growing minds and bodies. Too much video gaming is unhealthy for them. Fortnite, Roblox and Minecraft are popular online games. Two or more people can play together at the same time. In the last 30 days, many people searched for Fortnite on Google. It was searched for more than U.S. history topics. Searches for Roblox were higher than biology searches. Biology is the study of living things. It is clear kids are addicted to video games. They care about them more than school subjects. Computers and tablets are easy to find. They are used in a lot of classrooms. Students can easily switch from educational websites to computer games. I see this very often. Video games are all kids want to do these days. Brain Cells Are Dying Adults often say that too much screen time can damage your brain. This is actually true. Studies were done at the University of Montreal in Canada. They watched people playing "shooter" games. These can harm the hippocampus area of the brain, they found. The hippocampus helps us store memories. Hurting it can kill brain cells. Damage to this part of the brain can also increase the chances of different mental illnesses. This includes Alzheimer's. It is a disease that causes people to lose their memory. Such damage may also lead to depression. Mental illnesses are serious. They are different than feeling sad. Feeling sad, lonely or unhappy sometimes is normal. The feelings usually go away. Mental illnesses affect someone's mood, thoughts and behavior for a longer time. Someone who is very depressed could have a mental illness. Daily life can be very hard for someone with a mental illness. Doctors can usually help. Fortnite and Grand Theft Auto are popular games. They include guns and bad language. Many studies have shown that violent video games can increase violent behavior. Younger children often play these games. This article is available at 5 reading levels at 2
3 In one study, some participants played violent games in a lab. Others in the experiment played nonviolent games. After, the researchers measured the behavior of each group. People who played the violent games were more violent. Bad For The Body And The Mind Constantly playing video games can hurt the body. It can also hurt the mind. If people are busy gaming they might not shower as much. So gaming all the time can make people less clean. It can also cause eye strain. Stressed eyes can lead to migraines. They are really painful headaches. It is unhealthy for children to look at a screen all day. Kids should be outside playing sports. Instead, they are sitting inside playing sports on a screen. Video gaming is very popular. While playing, it can be hard to realize all the bad effects it has on the brain and body. We must take a closer look at these bad effects. We should not be mindlessly gaming all day. Do you have an opinion to share on an issue affecting your school or community? Students may submit their original opinion piece to editorial@newsela.com This article is available at 5 reading levels at 3
4 Quiz 1 Read the paragraph from the introduction [paragraphs 1-6]. Fortnite, Roblox and Minecraft are popular online games. Two or more people can play together at the same time. In the last 30 days, many people searched for Fortnite on Google. It was searched for more than U.S. history topics. Searches for Roblox were higher than biology searches. Biology is the study of living things. What is the author's point of view about kids researching video games? Kids would rather research video games than do schoolwork. Kids have just realized they can research how to play video games. Kids spend time researching video games when they are in school. Kids are researching ways to include video games in their school lessons. 2 The author has an opinion about kids playing video games. Which sentence from the article shows this? It said that more than 9 out of 10 kids played video games. Students can easily switch from educational websites to computer games. Someone who is very depressed could have a mental illness.

5 4 Read the following selections from the section Brain Cells Are Dying. In one study, some participants played violent games in a lab. After, the researchers measured the behavior of each group. People who played the violent games were more violent. The first sentence is a cause and the second selection is an effect. What is something the author does to show this connection? The first sentence previews the study by giving background knowledge. The author explains why playing video games can be harmful. The author describes the results of different parts of the study.
