We are exploring the possibility of designing an game for preschool children to help build positive communication skills in hopes that as they grow up they will better
understand verbal and non-verbal communication.

We have three possible options:

1) a physical game the teacher would lead the class in

2) a single player iPad game for one child

3) a multi-player iPad game for a few children to play together

The game will teach the children about the ins and outs of communication: conflict resolution, understanding their own feelings and communicating them with honesty,
coping with rejection, reading body language, and having empathy.

We are visiting a preschool and talking to the teachers as well as conducting user testing with the kids, these are some of the things we are looking for

how they react to the mechanics of app based games

how they interact with one another

the things they stress about

what is the center of their reality

that does their school structure look like

what kind of games do they play

Our goal is to truly understand the mind of a 3-4 year old so we can best design an app that will teach them the ins and outs of communication.
