THIS GAME IS GOOD FOR KIDS WHO NEED HELP WITH:

Self-Awareness

Understanding our own actions, thoughts and feelings.

Players should understand the limits to their artistic capacities in Draw Something 2. Some words are very hard to recreate on screen. However, if players know that they are creative, or are good at recreating what they see, then they should attempt the harder words. Essentially, players should not underestimate their ability to interpret a word. By being cognizant of their own skills, players will have the best chance at earning coins.

Draw Something 2 is also highly social, even more so than the original Draw Something. In addition to syncing with Facebook and Twitter, players can create a Draw Something profile, which will showcase all of their accumulated drawings. Players can send in-game comments and even follow other users. These more social features help to create a sense of community in the game, allowing players to more easily communicate with others and form connections with those they are playing.

Planning

Developing a systematic approach for setting and achieving goals. In order to utilize the many colors, brushes, and additional drawing items the game offers, players need to collect coins and stars. When players cannot figure out a particularly confusing drawing, they can use stars for hints. Hints add letters into their corresponding boxes each time they are used. But players have limited amount of stars and must use them wisely -- not out of haste. Coins are used to add to players' available palette of colors and brushes. More refined brushes and a variety of colors will allow players to create better drawings. But in order to get these items, players must strategically save coins. Coins are earned after game puzzles are solved correctly, and vary in value depending on the difficulty of the word. Adept Draw Something 2 players should choose higher value words in order to accumulate coins as quickly as possible so they can upgrade their colors and utensils.
