All LeapFrog educational games are packed with learning that goes
beyond traditional school skills. In Adventure Sketchers! Draw,

creative expression, with plenty more to learn along the way.
Players draw their own heroic character and play as them
throughout the game, learning about art while drawing and
colouring game elements that help move the adventure forward.
Players also decide the story's direction by coming up with
creative solutions to obstacles in the hero's path, such as
drawing platforms or vehicles to cross the kingdom. When the Book
of Wonder's pages scatter, players learn about story structure
and story elements – like characters, setting, problems, and
solutions – as they complete fill-in-the-blank storytelling
activities and art studio games to put it back together.

Learning experts create or approve every experience
---------------------------------------------------
As with all LeapFrog original learning games, Adventure
Sketchers! Draw, Play, Create is created by educational experts
and designed using innovative gameplay for a deep, effective, and
engaging learning experience. Children are challenged to not only
imagine a hero and the game environment in which he lives, but to
create it using visual art and give it a voice by using the
microphone to record personalised sounds like the hero's
catchphrase, victory cries, and more. Players' drawings and voice
s influence the game action, creating a unique story
that they are then prompted to recall and retell as they repair
the Book of Wonder. More than a fun creative challenge, these
Book of Wonder activities help children understand how stories
are put together, which can in turn enhance their ability to
comprehend and remember what they read (important skills for
reading), as well as their ability to create stories of their own
(important for writing).
Areas of learning
-----------------
This learning game focuses on the following key skills:
* Pretend play: Pretend play offers a creative outlet that
strengthens a child's understanding of the world as they act out
stories they know and situations they observe in the adult world.
As imagination grows, dramatic play becomes more complex.
* Storytelling: Children learn the patterns of oral language and
stories by listening to and repeating what they hear and read.
* Story building: Children learn to build stories by combining
narrative elements such as characters, settings, problems, etc.
* Drawing: As they draw, children develop spatial reasoning,
visual acuity, and hand control – skills which help them write
letters.
