Disney Emoji Blitz is a Bejeweled-style game where the player matches Disney emoji icons on a board to earn points. As you advance through the game, unlock more Disney emojis and battle Disney villains. Each emoji has its own special powers which can be deployed during an attack, so collecting as many different types of Disney characters is a must! A time limit on the game increases the tension but hints are available if you are stuck. Younger students may need assistance with the initial setup of the game because of the reading involved.
Time Management: Increasing the pace of activity.
Because each round of the game is timed, students have the opportunity to practice accomplishing a task under pressure. Students have to work to make as many matches as possible in a limited amount of time. As the timer gets closer to the end, the emojis start to look worried, heightening the tension and the sense of working under pressure.
Focus: Getting started and then maintaining attention and effort to tasks.
Disney Emoji Blitz is all about creating as many icon matches as possible before your time runs out. Because students only have a short amount of time to finish each round, they need to stay focused and constantly scan for matches and special power up opportunities within the game. If they do not do this, their score will not be high enough to earn any rewards. If they are battling a Disney villain and do not focus, they may need to repeat the level over again.
