Overview

Grover sets out to create a series of challenges designed to help his Sesame Street friends get up and go!  Through the course of the game, Elmo and Abby jump over obstacles, row a boat, and play “Grover Says,” all while learning important life lessons.  Through their fun adventures, the game promotes physical activity, good nutrition, personal hygiene, and even the importance of rest and relaxation.

Key Features

Promotes Healthy Habits:  Designed around the Sesame Workshop’s “Healthy Habits for Life” curriculum to help instill healthy behaviors in children, the gameplay focuses on four main areas – personal hygiene, physical activity, nutrition, and rest and relaxation. The games also encourage the development of other important skills such as counting, shape and color identification, classification, and listening comprehension.

Gameplay Helpers for Smaller Hands:  Available for Wii and Nintendo DS systems, special gameplay helpers simplify gameplay controls and make them more accessible for preschoolers with small hands and developing skills.  They will come packaged with the game at no additional cost.

The Nintendo DS gameplay helper is a jumbo click stylus designed for smaller hands, simplifying interaction with the touch screen.  It features a retractable tip and wrist strap for safety and its soft grip provides for a comfortable grasp.

Parent’s Page:  Parents may review games their child has played along with relevant curriculum for each.  Using this option, parents can customize up to four profiles, set functions including difficulty level and game limits.

Parent Can Play With Their Kids:  Parental “drop-in” feature allows use of the second Wii Remote to assist the child through the game, without taking away the child’s remote. 

Audio Direction: Game instructions are provided by audio rather than text direction for children with developing reading skills.

Easy to Play: The games are entertaining and intuitive enabling preschoolers to play by themselves.  They require minimal button usage.   For the Nintendo DS, there’s no button pushing – only screen tapping. 

Player Adaptability:  The game difficulty adapts by modifying the difficulty to match the child’s skill level.
