Teaching life skills is a powerful way to help students with special needs grow, thrive, and feel confident in everyday routines. At EdQueries, every interactive game is designed to make learning practical skills accessible, engaging, and meaningful for children, young adults, parents, and educators.

This week, we’re excited to release seven new Life Skills–focused games, covering daily routines, hygiene, grooming, and sequencing tasks. These games help learners strengthen planning, motor sequencing, comprehension, and independence—all through fun, structured activities.

These updates align with global recommendations that emphasize life-skills-based learning for children with diverse learning needs. According to UNICEF, building everyday functional skills enhances long-term independence and quality of life (UNICEF Life Skills Framework).Research also shows that task analysis improves learning outcomes for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
