Benefits for Children

Skills For Success - Children's Education Software
At Skills For Success we have spent the last two years working with teachers, parents and children to create our innovative format.

Whilst compiling our research we uncovered two overwhelming demands: from teachers, for a product that engages pupils to a point where they have so much fun that they forget that they are learning; and from children, wanting software that would help them by making homework and revision both easier and more enjoyable.

As a result, we have created and structured our products in such a way that it is IMPOSSIBLE not to learn while playing, thereby improving the children’s learning ability; and, as important as all of the above, it will be priced so as to be affordable for every school in the country.

Fully 3D game environment.
6 football games: Penalty Shootout, Goalie Practice and more!
Packed with bonus games, rewards and hidden extras!

Engaging Activities Skills For Success has been designed to be fun and engaging for every child regardless of ability. Not only does it encourage learning across the key subjects but it has also been proven to increase comprehension as the only way to score is to read and answer questions correctly. The questions are not timed out, permitting children to read through the questions and answers carefully, or even discussing them with friends or sourcing answers elsewhere, before attempting to score. Questions can be answered in as much time as is needed, reducing the chance of an incorrect answer being chosen due to a child feeling unnecessarily pressured. The overall feel is one of a game that gives confidence and encourages concentration, but is also extremely fun and exciting.

Many teachers were looking for software that didn’t have the typical “educational software” program feel and wanted a unique and more involving theme. So, with this in mind, when you turn on Skills for Success you start at the entrance to the football stadium, enter the changing rooms before heading out onto the football pitch, giving boys and girls the feeling of being involved immediately. The game is structured in such a way that it gives children a feeling of excitement, involvement and wanting to answer more questions as they progress through the game. To reiterate, the games develop on a progressive level with the main threads running throughout the software being INVOLVEMENT, ENCOURAGEMENT and EXCITEMENT.

Learn and Reward
As a child answers more questions correctly, bonus games are unlocked both in the Manager’s Office and the Changing Room. ‘Keepy Uppy’, a fun and exciting reward which also tests the child’s hand-to-eye coordination skills, by keeping a football bouncing in the air with the mouse. ‘Pairs’ is a memory game with cards placed face down on the table, testing the child’s ability to memorise pictures and positions. ‘Darts’ is a fun mental maths game, ‘Wordsearch’ covers spelling and ‘Brick Ball’ covers angles and co-ordination: all of these are highly educational, but offer strong rewards and, also freely available in the Manager’s Office, is a selection of printable colouring pictures. These were added as a great way for teachers in classrooms (or other public areas where the software might be used) to provide “offline” entertainment and interest for children waiting to use the software.
