Targeted for children aged 2 and upwards, "Nick Jr. Leap" is a brand-new learning tool containing a wide variety of fun and educational worlds and mini-games that aim to develop the players mathematics, problem solving and language skills. "Nick Jr. Leap" currently features three different educational worlds, with each world presented by favourite Nick Jr. characters from popular Nickelodeon preschool shows:
In "Numbers World", players can grow their own flowers and trees and look after their garden while they learn a bit of maths with the help of "Team Umizoomi".
In "Language World", children can start learning how to say words in English, Spanish, French and Italian in three fun mini-games presented by "Dora the Explorer".
In "Solving World", players visit space park with the fin-tastic Bubble Guppies and solve puzzles along the way.
"Nick Jr. Leap" has been made to encourage both independent and parent-led game play with learning targets that cover the 2014 EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) framework. This includes reception class for mathematics development and understanding the world. The language games are an entertaining introduction to French, Spanish and Italian, and can also help children who speak English as a second language.
This forms the basis of current school Reception year curriculum and was developed alongside an education expert to ensure the games have a solid foundation and are suitable for the learning development of this age range.
"Nick Junior Leap" is specifically tailored to a child's age as they begin their adventure but will adapt based on their performance to ensure that they are always challenged but progressing at a suitable pace.
As part of "Nick Jnr Leap", players can choose a Leap friend to go on their learning adventure with them, and as they progress and complete games, their Leap friend is rewarded.
Parents can choose to create an account and benefit from tracking their child's progress in the designated 'Grown Ups' area. This shows their progress within each game so parents can see where their children are flourishing and where they might need a little more help. Parents can also edit user and audio settings and find out more information about "Nick Jr. Leap" in the "Grown Ups Zone".
