As every parent, teacher and just about everyone over a certain age knows, it can be hard to get kids interested in learning. Especially at a time when a large portion of childhood is taken up by the ever expanding area of video games. What will become of this generation? Well if Larian Studios have a say, they’ll do just fine.
Monkey Tales, a game designed and created by Larian Studios aims to help teach kids maths through a fun and interactive downloadable game. They take the approach that every child learns differently, as such the game automatically picks up on the best approach to improve a child’s particular skills. The game’s adaptability allows for quick engagement for both weaker and stronger students, taking advantage of didactic methods that have been proven by years of research.
Currently there are 5 different games, allowing children aged 7-12 to train their skills faster and better than via traditional approaches alone. Each of the games is specifically adapted to the child’s school year and to the national curriculum of the particular country in which it’s released. Die Deure ( a partenered developer) and Larian Studios are also pleased to announced that Monkey Tales has been nominated as the finalist in this years MEDEA awards, under the category of ‘Best Professional Educational Media’
As you can see this is a game well worth investing in if you have a child, or know someone who does. Monkey tales is currently available for download from www.MonkeyTalesGames.com. Parents who want a trial version of the full game will also find one at the same link.
