Old Friends Dog Game helps kids practice and improve the following skills:

Planning: Developing a systematic approach for setting and achieving goals.

Running a sanctuary for old dogs takes a lot of resources. You need to feed the dogs, provide them with toys, and buy supplies to make furniture for them to sleep on. The currency you use in the game comes from the fans of your blog and video streaming services. The more you engage with your fans, the more money you will receive for your shelter. The player needs to look at how much money they currently have and budget out what they will spend on food, ingredients for snacks, toys, etc. For players who struggle with planning, they may find themselves spending too much money in one area and then needing to save up over time for the other shelter necessities. Players should look at the basics of what each dog needs and make sure that they balance out their purchases so that there is enough of everything for each dog. 

Time Management: Estimating time for future activities. 

Whether you are baking dog doughnuts, live streaming your pups’ antics, or estimating how hungry your dogs currently are, everything in the game takes time. Players need to use their time management skills and be aware of when they need to check back in with their dogs. Feeding, entertaining, and petting your dogs is how you gain loyalty and level up within the game so keeping an eye on how much time you have before your next petting session can help you earn the most loyalty the fastest. Players who struggle with time management should check their schedule frequently by clicking on each dog and making a note of how much time they have left before they require food, toys, etc.
