SKIDOS, the award-winning platform of popular learning games for children, has announced the launch of its latest gem – Rekindle Minds, a pathbreaking interactive module that helps children navigate the social-emotional challenges of modern living. Based on guidelines by CASEL, this addition makes SKIDOS universe a complete play-learning solution for early childhood.

Unfortunately, conventional schooling methods pay little attention to the development of these vital skills among young children. As a result, educators and parents across the world now report alarming levels of emotional distress among children, with problems like low grades in school, minimal social interaction etc. leading to temper tantrums and high anxiety. Underdeveloped social-emotional skills can further snowball into bad academic performance, lack of healthy friendships, or lower career prospects later in life.

SKIDOS Rekindle Minds takes kids on a self-learning journey. For curious minds aged 4 years and older, it is a guided fun-filled adventure towards understanding their emotions. The module aims to improve the emotional wellbeing of kids and raise them as confident and happy lifelong learners.

Designed as an exciting game, Rekindle Minds smartly introduces bite-sized lessons on key life skills at each level. This makes it uniquely child-centered and effective in its mission to improve their social and emotional skills.

Rekindle Minds  adventures centers on 5 enchanting play-worlds, each named after core competencies under CASEL guidelines- self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. With smart interactive videos, mini games, animations, each fun world keeps children engaged and eager to keep growing. Bonus features like Mood-checker and Progress Report further help students recognize their emotions and win rewards that can be used within the app.

Mr. Thomas Santo, an ex-principal with 20+ years of experience in early childhood education, elaborated on the need for social-emotional learning, “With good social emotional skills, children are more resilient and excel in school and later in their careers.” Addressing parents, he further stated, “Investing in your child’s Social Emotional Learning is an investment in their future.” 

Working mom Yuliya said, “It is very important for my child to be equipped with both fundamental academic, and social emotional skills. These lessons will help my child achieve confidence, happiness, and contentment while exploring their way through personal and professional life. The interactive videos in SKIDOS Rekindle Minds are game-changers! Maria, my younger kid, absolutely loves the different worlds and especially the character Moyo.”

To try Rekindle Minds, download and start playing with SKIDOS’s latest game. The app is also available directly on the Apple or Google Play store.

SKIDOS, an award-winning platform of learning games for kids, has announced the launch of its highly-anticipated, freshly-revamped math curriculum for its games on Android devices. Designed in joint collaboration with educators, designers, and engineers, the new math curriculum is completely aligned with US Common Core and UK National Curriculum standards. The curriculum has already received huge praise from parents and children alike since its launch on iOS platforms last month.

SKIDOS’ new math curriculum across its games will provide greater agency to children by giving them visual and voice feedback on their answers. The data-driven approach behind its design is aimed at making children more comfortable around math concepts and be independent learners. Instead of negative marking or penalties being imposed on wrong answers, the SKIDOS apps encourage positive learning styles to eliminate fear around the subject and reduce anxiety for children.

Like all 40+ SKIDOS games, the math curriculum will be added between levels of popular, child-friendly games to build connections between natural play and learning. Children will be able to learn and revise their math concepts even while enjoying these exciting games to the fullest.

Additionally, the parents will be able to track their child’s progress through customized learning performance reports delivered to their inbox twice a month.

Aditya Prakash, the CEO and founder of SKIDOS, commented on the inclusion, “We have always strived to raise curious and confident young learners through our gaming and learning content. Our ‘learning through play’ approach stands out with its aim to enhance quality screen time with quality learning. Since a large part of the world uses Android devices, it made natural sense to offer our new math curriculum to the billion plus android users around the world.”

Starting from September 27th, the brand-new math core curriculum will be seen on top-rated games like Superstore & Bakery in the Play store. In later phases, the curriculum will be rolled out across all 40+ games on Android devices. The children will find the new learning content to be more interactive and engaging with the addition of friendly SKIDOS mascots to the games.

Furthermore, in addition to the benefit of this curriculum, all SKIDOS users also get a child-safe and completely ad-free experience. A single subscription to SKIDOS Pass gives users the ability to create up to 6 profiles on multiple devices, and unlimited access to all 40+ games on the platform.
