FYI Investigates: Addicted to Gaming

First News TV - Investigates

video

In this FYI Investigates, Jeriah and Scarlett talk to gamers and experts to find out what impact gaming has on our lives. Is it just harmless fun? Or could we be getting addicted?

The UK is the largest video game market in Europe, with a staggering nine in ten young people playing computer games, often for several hours at a time.

Teaching resource

We have put together a debate ‘Can gaming teach you important life skills?‘ to help you lead discussions about the film and the topics it explores with your class.
