I strongly believe that children should be able to play video games because they are the same as school games half of the time. They can make you happy. Parents can put age restrictions on the App store and they can block some games on the App store. You can also have a really fun day with your phone and educational games. 

Firstly, video games can make you happy and cheerful because they are fun and enjoyable.

Secondly, not all games are violent, mean and a bad influence and parents can stop children playing some games by blocking them on the App store.

Finally, some video games are educational, for example Prodigy which is a game that teaches us about maths. Prodigy is a great  educational game and you can learn to do maths questions and lots of stuff and that's why I think it's a great game.

To conclude I think that we should always be allowed to play video games not  all video games are violent. Video games can make you happy and cheerful and be educational and parents can put age restrictions on the App store if they don’t think a game is appropriate.
