Game On in Jena: Play, Discover, and Laugh Together
On Thursday, October 1, 2026, the workshop of the Ernst-Abbe-Library Jena will transform into a meeting place for curious game fans up to 12 years old. At Game On - Board Games and Gaming, children experience shared time, laughter, and exciting learning experiences on the Nintendo Switch or with classic board games.
Digital Adventures and Analog Game Ideas
Whether playing together on the console or focused tinkering at the game table: the children choose what makes them happy. While playing with and against each other, varied moments arise where rules, strategy, and fair play come together naturally.
Age-Appropriate Fun Learning with Social Value
Game On combines child-friendly entertainment with important experiences for development. Children practice communication, consideration, and joint decision-making. Board games strengthen attention and strategic thinking, while digital games provide a conscious and communal approach to gaming. The offer is suitable for children up to 12 years old.
A Safe Meeting Point in the Library
Games will be played in the workshop on the ground floor at level 0 of the Ernst-Abbe-Library. The event takes place in a protected indoor space. Registration is not required, allowing families to come spontaneously. For parents, the open nature provides an uncomplicated way to give their children a social and educational family experience.
Conclusion: Controllers, Dice, and Plenty of Joy
Game On invites children up to 12 years old to a relaxed and varied game afternoon in Jena. Between Switch, board games, and new play partners, curiosity, a sense of community, and valuable time together develop. Families should experience the free offer live and give their children an afternoon full of fun learning and children's laughter.
