Play, Fun, and Team Spirit for Children at the Ernst-Abbe-Library Jena
At Game On - Board Games and Gaming, children up to 12 years old gather for a joyful family experience with consoles and board games. On Thursday, 10.09.2026, at 3:00 PM, the Ernst-Abbe-Library Jena invites you to its workshop on the ground floor/Level 0. Participation is free and no registration is required.
Playing Together, Discovering, and Making Contacts
The focus here is not solely on competition but on shared experiences. Children play together or against each other on the Nintendo Switch and also engage with analog board games. This strengthens social contacts, promotes fairness, concentration, and playful interaction with rules.
A Child-Friendly Place for Small and Larger Game Ideas
The workshop of the Ernst-Abbe-Library is designated for STEM, tinkering, crafting, and gaming offerings. According to the library's website, the facility uses its children's areas in clear age groups and offers a barrier-free, family-friendly environment with self-checkout, cloakroom, lockers, and free Wi-Fi. This creates a relaxed framework for families to spend time together.
Safety, Orientation, and Educational Value
The offer is explicitly aimed at children up to 12 years old and is therefore well-suited for age-appropriate leisure activities. Playful formats like this support development, teamwork, and media competence. The clear structure on-site ensures clarity and makes visits pleasant and easy to plan for families.
Why You Should Visit
Those looking for a free, relaxed, and yet educational children's offer in Jena will find a strong event for shared experiences here. Game On connects digital and analog gaming worlds in a friendly and open manner. It’s best to be there live and experience the laughter, fun, and new encounters of children firsthand.
