Jungle- first world
Balloon- place phone on stomach (like bio belly breathing app) and help the baloon take off by breathing deeply to make stomach go up and down
Monkey- Follow the monkey and the voice over of progressive muscle relaxation stretching for kids, like "take your right arm and reach for that branch that's up there, now hold on to it...and let go and swing to another branch with your left arm...stretch for it..that's it!" this one targets individual muscle groups as a starting point for this excersise.
Draw- touch the screen while moving the phone anound to draw on the screen.
Ocean- second world
Bubbles- breathe into the phone's microphone slowly to make the bubbles reach the surface, if you blow too fast, the bubbles will pop. This is the next level of breathing, teaching kids to breathe slowly while using their belly to breathe(what they learned last time)
Draw- works the same as the other draws but with different filters and objects
Starfish- works the same as Monkey but this time targets stretching and relaxing all muscles at the same time which is the next level for this exercise to help kids relax on 'command' or whenever they want to.
Meadow- Third world
Clouds- This is not an exercise but it is a relaxing activity, you aim the camera to the sky and it will show clouds that you can gaze at (even if you're inside)
Draw-works the same as the other draws but with different filters and objects
Seeds-The last version of the breathing exercise, you have to blow into the microphone in time with the wind on the screen to blow off all the dandelion seeds, this teaches the children to breathe evenly
We also worked out the instruction text for each game as concisely as possible and as simply and children would not know lots of big words. Perhaps we should do an animation of the directions instead? or just have an illustration as well as the text?
