Skills

• Kids can add on more clues and/or advance the level of play as their skills progress and they have mastered the game.
• Memory and recall skills are encouraged as kids swipe through the screens to locate different objects. 

Play Ideas

• uKloo app can help a child vocalize by reading aloud the clue cards displayed on the screen.
• Cognitive thought processing, receptive and expressive language skills are engaged and enhanced during play as kids listen to the directions and read the clue.
• Pre-literacy and literacy skills are practiced throughout play as kids learn to recognize and identify verbs, prepositions and nouns when reading the clues and using the question mark icon for assistance. 

Play Ideas

• A child can expressively recall the hidden clue card path with a caregiver. For example, the first clue card said to look under the pineapple. The second clue card was next to the chocolate ice cream cone and the surprise was on the small pumpkin!
• Caregiver can ask the child to always read aloud the clues during game play.
• Social skills like manners can be reinforced during play as kids ask siblings or caregivers for help during game play. 

Social/Emotional 3

Skills

• Through repeated play, kids can learn and refine their knowledge of the uKloo app and build confidence.
• Game play with uKloo can change and challenge children at different levels of difficulty with growth and development of literacy skills.
