Egg Inc. helps kids practice and improve the following skills:

Planning: Developing a systematic approach for setting and achieving goals.

Players have a limited number of resources in Egg Inc. that they need to use to upgrade their farms, help their chickens lay more eggs, and increase their shipping capabilities. Players need to have a plan about what they want to spend their money and golden eggs on to maximize the benefits to their farm. Players who struggle with playing may find themselves running out of money or golden eggs quickly because they tried to grow their farm too fast. Starting slow and getting used to spending the in-game currency on one or two different areas before expanding to boosts and other upgrades can help the player practice these skills until they are more comfortable with how to plan their spending more efficiently. 

Organization: Arranging and coordinating materials in order to complete a task.

Running a chicken farm can be complicated, and the user needs to have good organizational skills in order to manage the various challenges, boosts, and upgrades that are available in the game. Players who struggle with organization may find that they take a long time to complete challenges, forget to upgrade their equipment, or run out of money for upgrades that they need. Starting slow and making sure to frequently check the upgrades and the challenge options can help the user get used to the tasks that need to be accomplished within the game.
