Kuukiyomi: Consider It!  helps kids practice and improve the following skills:

Self Awareness: Understanding our own actions, thoughts and feelings. 

In the game Kuukiyomi, each of the scenarios asks the player to choose between the action that is considerate and the action that is inconsiderate. The player has to be aware of what the considerate option is and then understand that this is the action that is called for in this situation. If the player struggles with being able to “read the room,” they may find that they receive lower scores at the end of the game, demonstrating that they took many inconsiderate actions during the gameplay. Players who struggle with self awareness can play each of the mini scenarios individually and practice with them until they feel they understand why one action was better to take over another. 

Self -Control: Managing our actions, feelings and behaviors. 

Many of the scenarios are strange and feature actions that might not be considerate but seem like mischievous fun. For example, you are at a concert and the lead singer asks you to cheer. You can choose to cheer or stay silent, ruining the concert. The game tests how we manage our emotions and our impulse to cause harm to other people. For players who struggle with understanding how their actions or behaviors affect others, this game is a low stakes way to introduce the concept of self-control to them.
