Lu Lagoon

Lu Lagoon is a multiplayer game with lively, full-body interaction that addresses sensory integration. It helps students to regulate sensory input effectively. The game incorporates sensory integration activities in a student-friendly manner that prompts the brain to process sensory information effectively. Students respond in an imaginary environment and interact with fishes by waving their hands, or jumping in the tank. They can draw the fishes to them by waving, or clapping their hands together to produce food on the screen to feed the fish. They can also scare the fishes away by jumping on screen. 

This game is great for simple keep-fit sensory integration activities to complement occupational therapy sessions for social, and emotional development. Teachers report using this game to calm a student who is agitated or about to have a tantrum or melt down. Students can play alone on screen, or can hop into the tank with classmates for a group activity. Do you dream about playing with fishes under the water? 

Jump into the Lu Lagoon!
