Kami 2 helps kids practice and improve the following skills:

Flexibility

Adapting and adjusting to changing conditions and expectations.

Although Kami 2 has the same goal for every level (turn the picture all one color), the variety of pictures and the small number of moves allowed each level require the player to be flexible and willing to try new things. One added triangle or one fewer moves available can make a large difference in how the player approaches the game. If all the player does, for example, is start in the center of the picture and work outwards, there will be many levels they cannot beat. Starting on the outside versus the inside or starting with the biggest area or the smallest area; all these approaches (and more) will help in some levels and hinder in others. And if the player can't stay flexible and figure out the right approach, they will either have to use hints (which can be unlocked with an ad or a purchase) or remain stuck on the level without unlocking any others.

Planning

Developing and retaining information in our minds while working.

This game is all about planning skills. The player has to think about each move before they make it and consider how that move can help them solve the problem of the picture that makes up the current level. Just like with similar strategy games like chess, the player will be more successful the more they think and plan. Planning out two or three--or all--of the moves before acting on them while help the player be successful and beat the level quickly, without hints or frustration.
