Zookeeper World helps kids practice and improve the following skills:

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

When completing the match three puzzles, the player has a set number of moves in which to make all the necessary combinations. If they do not make all of these matches successfully, they will need to repeat the puzzle again. Players who struggle with planning their moves out ahead of time or seeing the larger picture may need to spend a longer amount of time with each puzzle and not rush through. There is no time limit for completing the puzzles, so this game is a great opportunity for the player to practice their planning skills. 

Currency in the game is also limited, meaning that the player needs to plan out what they want to do with their money. Animals need to be purchased, habitats need to be built, and public facilities need to be created. Because the player cannot purchase all of these things at once, they will need to make a plan for what they need to purchase and what will have to wait until more money is available. 

Organization: Arranging and coordinating materials in order to complete a task. 

Players have several tasks they need to accomplish while working at their zoo. They need to build habitats, create public facilities, and listen to the requests of zoo patrons. In order to manage all of this successfully, players need to be organized and know what they are working on at the moment and what they will be working on next. For players who struggle with organization, completing the game tutorials and slowly building up the zoo one exhibit at a time is a great way to practice organizational skills.
