Five Nights At Freddy’s helps kids practice and improve the following skills:

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

Because the player needs to be constantly checking their security cameras and the doors to the office, organization is a key factor to winning this game. The player only has a finite amount of power in the office from which to draw on. This means that if you keep the security doors closed too long or leave the lights over the doors on, you can quickly run out of power and end up in the dark, exposed to the murderous animatronics. Players need to constantly check their power source and make decisions based on how much they have left to work with. Constantly checking cameras, lights above the door and monitoring the time left before morning will ensure that the player lasts beyond the first night. 

Focus: Blocking out distractions. 

The player has one major goal in the game; do not get caught by the murderous animatronic animals. In order to do this, the player must stay focused and be aware of their surroundings at all times. However, there are plenty of distractions to keep this from being an easy task. The player may hear creepy noises, unsettling music, or even see one of the animatronic animals skittering across the monitor. It is also possible to be too focused on the security cameras that another animal slipped past you and made its way right into the security office. The player needs to be able to block out all of the distractions while keeping their observation of all the cameras and doors constantly moving in order to last through the night.
