Six skills, drawn from occupational therapy
Every game works on one or more of six skills. Each has five levels, and each is scored by the measures its games record as they play.
- MindPlanning, remembering, staying with it
- HeartCalm, waiting, taking turns
- HandsReaching and using both sides
- FingersSmall, careful movements
- LegsStaying steady, moving big
- EyesSeeing it and reacting fast
What each skill measures
In every round, for every skill
How many answers were right, and the help each one took: none, a gesture, a spoken hint, shown how, or hands-on.

How a level is reached
Each skill has five levels, and each level says how much help can be given and still count — shown how, then no help. A level goes up after a few good rounds on more than one day, so one lucky round moves nothing, and some levels step the activity up, so help is allowed again there.
