Alba: A Wildlife Adventure  helps kids practice and improve the following skills:

Focus: Getting started and then maintaining attention and effort to tasks. 

Some of the tasks in Alba: A Wildlife Adventure have a few steps before they can be completed. Once they receive information about a goal, the player needs to use their focusing skills to stay on task and follow the directions they receive from the characters in the game. These tasks are usually only a few steps, so players who struggle with focus can practice in a game that is very low-stakes. Using the task list, the map, and the animal journal together is a great way to remember what you need to accomplish and stick with it. 

Flexibility: Trying something new. 

The island in the game is open to explore, so players can go wherever they want at any time. This means that they can practice their flexibility skills and try something new in between tasks. If the player wants, they can go around and chat with townspeople, pick up trash, try to fix the wildlife information boards throughout the island, or even just sit on a bench and look at the beautiful scenery. For players who struggle with flexibility, this game is a very relaxed way to introduce a little bit of this skill into their life.
