Hang Line: Mountain Climber helps kids practice and improve the following skills:

Flexibility

Adapting and adjusting to changing conditions and expectations.

This game does a great job of creating new obstacles and new ways to climb a mountain. Every level seems to be new in some way. This means that to be as successful as possible, the player will need to use their flexibility skills. Adapting to obstacles and trying new things—especially when hunting for the often well-hidden survivors the player needs to rescue—is the only way to complete each level and save all the survivors.

Focus

Getting started and then maintaining attention and effort to tasks.

There are moving animals and dissolving snow in this game, as well as barely visible side paths. If the player is going to make it through the whole level and find all the hidden survivors, they will need to use their focus skills. If they don’t ignore internal and external distractions, they may fail to notice snow crumbling or rocks falling or a mountain goat knocking them off course.
