THIS GAME IS GOOD FOR KIDS WHO NEED HELP WITH:

Creating a plan for each level and its obstacles requires players to observe their environment, think ahead, and predict the outcomes of their actions. If players don't plan ahead, they may find themselves stuck and be forced to restart a level. Sometimes a sequence of several steps is needed to overcome obstacles in the game. For example, a player may have to create a pathway around a wall, but a turret may be waiting near where the land. In order to avoid the turret, the player must set up the next portal before landing, or esle be defeated by the waiting turret.

Flexibility

Adapting and adjusting to changing conditions and expectations.

The puzzles in this game deliberately flex the imagination of players and helps them expand the potential uses for their portal gun. Players learn how something as simple as creating pathways has many different options to both success and failure, and through trial and error, pick up new techniques to try on different obstacles. Constant re-imagining of the uses for a single tool requires the flexibility to know when one method is working and when to think outside the box in order to progress. A rigid approach will severely limit players, barring them from exploring the possibilities afforded by the unique powers of the portal gun.
