Find the Balance helps kids practice and improve the following skills:

Organization

Arranging and coordinating materials in order to complete a task.

Find the Balance is all about asking the player to organize a collection of shapes and/or items. The game gives the player a set number of pieces, often odd and misshapen, and the player has to find the perfect way to organize them so that they can balance rather than fall over. If the player does not use their organizational thinking skills, they will be unable to complete this goal. If they do a poor enough job, they will not be able to move on to new levels.

Planning

Developing a systematic approach for setting and achieving goals.

In this game, all the pieces are different shapes and sizes. The player also gets to decide in which order to place the pieces and whether or not to rotate them. Almost all of the power is in the player's hands. Because of this, the player must really utilize their planning skills. Every step of the way is their choice. If they don't think carefully about the problem facing them and take the time to plan every step out, they may get to the last piece only to realize that things would have balanced better if it were the first piece played. This will lead to the player failing to balance the pieces, losing the level, and being unable to unlock more levels.
