Angry Birds Pop 2 helps kids practice and improve the following skills:

Focus

Getting started and then maintaining attention and effort to tasks.

A player needs to use their focus skills in two ways. First, they need to be able to focus on which bubble they want to use and where they are aiming it. If they do not ignore internal and external distractions they will end up bouncing at the wrong angle or not choosing the best placement. Second, they also have to stay focused on the goals of the level. If they don’t use their short-term focus skills to stay on-task, they will use up all their moves without having finished the level.

Self-Control

Managing our actions, feelings, and behaviors.

This game can be difficult when you have to start bouncing bubbles off of walls or choosing the appropriate place to use a special skill. It can also be frustrating when the player opens a piñata and doesn’t get points towards a new character. In both instances, the player is given a great chance to practice self-control. Letting anger or frustration control their emotions will cause them to make poor choices when playing the levels. Making poor choices will keep them from getting cards to spend on piñatas. Overall, if they don’t use their coping and self-control skills, their progress in the game will slow down and even halt.
