Ways to conquer 21st-century life skills like a boss!
Do you dream of your little ones becoming math wizards or marine biologists when they grow up? Well, along with academic skills, it’s important to teach them life skills too! These skills help them develop creativity, collaboration, and more. So, what exactly are life skills? Let’s find out.
What are Life Skills?
Life Skills empower your kids with emotional, social, and intellectual tools, according to UNICEF, to succeed in personal, interpersonal, and community settings. So, let’s learn five essential 21st-century life skills!
Skill #1: Curiosity
Encouraging curiosity in your kids is key to helping them grow, learn, and question the world around them. Motivate your kids to make friends from different cultures. This may cultivate curiosity through learning about different cuisines, etiquettes, and traditions.
Skill #2: Critical Thinking
Critical thinking skills help your kids to keep an open mind, ask questions, analyze information, and make smart choices. Here is one of our learning games for kids to encourage critical thinking:
Car Wash
Play “Car Wash” – the game that lets your little ones ride, wash, and fix up their favorite cars while solving math puzzles! They’ll never get bored with over 10 cars to choose from, including trucks and sports cars. They’ll hit the open road while practicing their math skills.

Skill #3: Creativity
Nurturing your kid’s creativity is an essential aspect of their growth and development. There are several ways in which you can spark creativity in your kids. Go for a nature walk with your kids and ask them to observe all the things around you. Collect small items like pebbles, leaves, sticks, etc. Come back home and ask your little one to create beautiful nature art with the collected items.
Skill #4: Collaboration
Kids must understand the significance of keeping their relationships healthy, so they can have many amazing people to support them as they grow up. Here is a collaborative learning game created by SKIDOS:
