What’s It About?
LEAPFROG PAW PATROL IMAGICARD LEARNING GAME invites youngsters into the popular world of Adventure Bay just before they celebrate Appreciation Week. There's a lot to do, and they need your help. The main story line has a series of tasks to complete around town. Kids may find themselves delivering packages, cleaning up trash, repairing a sidewalk, or replanting flowers. Many tasks require the help of a specific PAW Patrol pup. For every five tasks completed, kids earn a Good Citizen Badge. In addition to the main game, there's a Card Gallery where kids can see the Imagicards they've used, a photo activity, the Play Zone where kids can bring each of the Imagicards to life on-screen, and the PAW Patrol Challenge, which requires kids to answer questions about the PAW Patrol family as well as about numbers and shapes. The PAW Patrol Challenge can be played single-player or with a friend. Kids will practice a range of math skills as they progress in levels, from number identification and counting, to patterns and sorting, to addition and subtraction.
Is It Any Good?
The PAW Patrol pups are adorable, and the tasks are engaging while also being educational. The Imagicards are a bit of a novelty and they don't add much to the game, but kids like them a lot. It seems that the benefit of having tangible cards would be to use them for sorting and grouping in the real world, but they aren't used that way. Many kids will stop using them and just use the in-game card selector. Other than that, the activities make sense in their educational context (for example, fix the holes in the cement by choosing the correct shapes, or sort the recyclables into the correct bin), keeping the learning seamless and fun. Kids get to fly with Skye, spray water with Marshall, and drive an amphibious vehicle with Zuma, so PAW Patrol fans will be delighted. And the learning does grow with the child, so kids can stick with this game through the age range and possibly beyond.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
