PBS
KIDS and Sesame Workshop today announced the launch of Cookie
Monster’s Challenge for
iPad, a new SESAME
STREET app and the first
app that the two children’s media organizations have created together. Designed
for children ages 3-5, the app builds on SESAME STREET’s 45th anniversary
season’s curricular focus: self-regulation
and executive function skills that teachers identify as critical for school
readiness. Cookie Monster’s Challenge
offers a series of games designed to engage children and challenge them to practice
self-control, focus, memory, following directions and problem-solving. The app
launches just in time for the debut of SESAME STREET’s 45th season,
which premieres September 15 at 7 a.m. on Rhode Island PBS.
Features of the Cookie
Monster’s Challenge App include:
- Ten Mini-games – Games present exciting challenges designed to give children the opportunity to practice self-control, focus and memory.
- Nine Levels – With each level, the mini games become more challenging, keeping children engaged and motivated.
- One Crazy Cookie Making Contraption – As children complete levels, they earn pieces of a giant and hilarious cookie-making machine that they can use to decorate the cookies they've earned and deliver them to their hungry friend, Cookie Monster.
- Profiles – Children and parents can
create up to three separate profiles so that everyone in the family can
progress through the game at their own pace.
