Skatebird helps kids practice and improve the following skills:

Working Memory: Recalling and retaining information in our minds while working.

Skatebird is a great way for players to practice their working memory skills. In order to execute skating tricks in the game, the player needs to be able to remember which buttons perform which tricks while they are in the act of skating. For players who struggle with working memory, they can skate around as long as they want to practice their tricks before taking on any missions from the other birds. 

The players also need to use their working memory in order to remember the layouts of the different maps. For some challenges, the player needs to find items or remember where certain objects are located. If they cannot find them within the time limit, they will need to repeat the mission. But missions can be repeated as many times as necessary so there is no “game over” as a result. 

Time Management: Working under pressure. 

In order to complete missions from the other bird friends in the game, the player will need to check off each item on the objective list within a certain amount of time. This means the player will need to work under pressure to complete the objectives. For players who struggle with time management, these missions can be repeated as many times as necessary.
