Description of how the game can be used to fit the categories: The Pop N’ Race Skylanders game is a fun way for players to practice a variety of skills with their favorite characters from Skylanders. Fine motor skills can be practiced by using this game as the players must pick up their game pieces and move them depending on what they roll. Attention span can be practiced by playing this game because it is an easy game that can keep all different levels of players attentive. It is also not too challenging that would make players become disinterested. Attention span could be worked on by utilizing this game by having the player play for so many rounds before quitting. Academics can be practiced by playing this game as the player must count the number of dots on the dice they roll and count how many spots they must move on the game board. Postural development can be practiced by playing this game either sitting at a table or laying on the ground. If the player sits at a table and plays the game, this works on core strength and helps the player practice sitting upright for long periods of time. If the player plays this game while laying on the ground on their belly, this can work on core strength and stability that is useful when sitting upright.
