Temple Run Puzzle Adventure helps kids practice and improve the following skills:

Flexibility: Coping with unpredictability. 

Each puzzle in the game asks the player to amass a certain number of jewels or items to proceed. These items change from puzzle to puzzle, meaning that no play through is the same as another. Players need to use their flexibility skills in order to adapt to the changing circumstances and use the combination moves to help them get the number of gems/items that they need to solve the puzzle and move on. 

Planning: Planning for solving and dealing with obstacles. 

There are no time limits for the puzzles in the game, but the player does only have a certain amount of moves to get all the gems/items on their list. If they cannot do this before the amount of moves run out, they will need to repeat the puzzle. Players need to look at the puzzle before beginning to move pieces and figure out how they will connect gems together in order to get what they need. Players can also plan how they are going to use their combos and bonus skills such as the pick axe-these bonuses are finite, meaning that the player cannot use them for every single move in the puzzle. Being strategic about how the bonuses are used is another way to plan for success in the game.
