THIS GAME IS GOOD FOR KIDS WHO NEED HELP WITH:

Focus

Attention to detail is the name of the game. In order to find all mushrooms and journal pages, players must demonstrate strong map reading skills as well as goal-directed persistence. It’s important that players can travel quickly through the world while maintaining a familiarity with the landscape. Because there are so many hidden caves, players must remember areas on the map that are still undiscovered. It’s important that players pay attention the Ohnem’s directions. These gods offer side quests and make gameplay more exciting and robust. Players who complete a task from start to finish exemplify goal directed persistence -- and ultimately the focus thinking skill. 

Flexibility

By nature, platformers require players to be flexible thinkers. Flexibility refers to the player’s ability to adjust their style of play to meet new levels of difficulty as well as new tasks and objectives. Flexible players do no give up when they get stuck. Instead, they find a solution. While jumping from platform to platform requires players to demonstrate flexible play, a better example in William and Sly 2 would be the hidden caves. Where are the last 10 mushrooms, players might ask? Exploration is essential to completing the quest. We recommend that players are flexible enough to explore all the nooks and crannies of this small to medium sized map. Only though exploration will players find the hidden caves and the essential loot located inside.
