In the game “Walks” the student can improve gross motor planning and eye-hand co-ordination skills. The child becomes the Farmer avatar who walks along a path that has specific shapes they engage with according to the assigned task. There are horizontal, vertical, or diagonal paths which begin with a basic line and advance to more challenging forms including back, front, top, bottom, right, left, etc. The Farmer has to move along the path and pick up carrots avoiding collisions on the boundaries. 

The teacher/therapist can adjust the difficulty level by enabling the appearance of obstacles in the form of snakes and worms. They can also change the width of the path increasing or decreasing the challenge according to student skill. This game invites students to simultaneously combine several skills including attention, the ability to coordinate hand movements and react quickly to avoid obstacles when needed. At the end of each game, the players have the opportunity to check their mistakes and try to do better, improving these skills gradually. 

Are you ready to pick up carrots?
