This Game is Good for Kids Who Need Help With:

Self-Control

Controlling their actions and emotions. Improving impulse control.

This game helps kids practice their self control skills. While it may be tempting to slice the object right when they enter the screen, the game offers much incentive to avoid this knee-jerk reaction. Firstly, bombs are thrown up to fake players out, and if the don't use their inhibit their actions to keep their slices in check, they can easily earn a game over screen. The other reason its a good idea to not slice mindlessly is that if you cut multiple pieces of fruit at once, you score even more points than if you slice them individually. This entails waiting for just the right moment to slice the fruit when they are lined all up.

Focus

Getting started and then maintaining attention and effort to tasks.

This game helps to improve sustained attention thanks to the constant need for players to keep their eyes peeled for fruit to slice. Various pieces of fruit enter the screen at sporadic times, so players need to stay focused to ensure the don’t miss a single slice. If they do, they earn an "X." Earn three and it's game over. Also, mistaking a bomb for a piece of fruit even once can cause the game to end, so players need to keep their eyes peeled. If players stop paying attention for even a second, they risk missing big scoring opportunities, and may even end up ending the game.
