Abstract: Self-regulation is linked to success in both academics and interpersonal relations. In order to facilitate increases in self-regulation, a web-based game was developed based on the Head-Toes-Knees-Shoulders task by Cameron-Ponitz et al. (2008; 2009). The game functions similarly to the popular game Simon Says, where one repeats patterns on a screen. However, instead of exactly following the pattern displayed, one follows a pattern based on a predefined set of rules. Similar to the Head-Toes-Knees-Shoulders game, where one must touch one’s head when told to touch one’s toes, when one sees blue on the screen, one must touch red. The game provides both a fun and challenging environment (Morgan, Sibthorp, & Wells, 2014) to develop self-regulatory capabilities of children.
