Gameplay[]
This article is missing a gameplay section. You can help by adding one!
The game begins with the teacher, Ms. Velez telling players that they will learn about kids in the class, and then pick out activities for them to do. After this, Ms. Velez introduces one of the characters (a child in the kindergarten class) and tells the player what they like to do, while also presenting 2 toys. For example, Ms. Velez may say "James likes playing with cars more than reading books", players are then to pick the activity/toy the character would more likely want to use. Players must choose the activity the character likes to do, as gameplay does not continue if they select the activity the character does not like.
Next, Ms. Velez will show 3 of the characters with their toys, and 2 characters will match (for example, when shown James, Lucy, and Dolly, and Dolly and James both have books, the player will pick Dolly to play with James). After this, players will then put the books on a shelf by clicking and dragging. When 2 friends play with the puzzles, players will then put the pieces together.
After this, Ms. Velez will show 2 characters with the same activity (such as letters), and she will then instruct the players to click one of two locations where the characters may play, where the player must select the correct area where the characters should play with their specific toys (for example, if the children have cars, they must play in the car area).
The game never necessarily 'ends', as after performing 2-3 activities, players are then given the option to restart the game.
