Difficulty level tailoring

Beginners (6-7 years old): At the beginner level, flexibility is supported by simpler task cards and easier PUSE tile patterns. Children can play at a calm pace, practicing adaptation to the game and experiencing that plans may change without it being a problem. Action cards are introduced sparingly or gradually. In paired or small-group play, students make decisions together, promoting communication, cooperation, and initial levels of flexible thinking.

Advanced learners (8-9 years old): At the advanced level, flexibility is challenged by more complex task cards, varied PUSE tile patterns, and more frequent use of action cards. Children must quickly adapt when the game situation changes unexpectedly and develops new strategies when their original plans are no longer feasible. Group decision-making helps them enhance attention, communication, and the ability to adjust to the shared game space.

Experts (9–10 years old): At the expert level, flexibility is highly developed. Difficult task cards, complex PUSE tile patterns, and active action cards require continuous rethinking and adaptation. Children need to plan ahead, consider the moves of others, and react quickly to unexpected changes. Throughout these challenges, they learn to manage uncertainty, generate alternative solutions, and maintain motivation during the game.
