How Follow Blu supports your child’s development
Follow Blu is a short game you can enjoy as a family in just a few minutes. Behind the lights and sounds is one of the most important skills for learning at school. Here we explain what it trains, how to support your child while they play and how to bring what they learn into everyday life.
How to play
The Mora characters light up one at a time, each with its own sound. When they finish, your child taps them in the same order. Every time they get it right, the sequence adds one more character. On the hard level, they repeat it backwards, starting with the last one that lit up.
What they are learning
This game trains working memory: the ability to hold information in mind for a few seconds while using it. It is the same skill needed to follow multi-step instructions, remember what was just read or solve mental math. Repeating the sequence backwards also asks them to reorganize that information, an early form of mental flexibility.
Ideas to keep going at home
- Play "Simon says" with actions (clap, jump, touch your nose), then repeat the series backwards.
- Give two- or three-step instructions, like "bring your book, put it on the table and sit down", and add steps little by little.
- At the supermarket, memorize a short list together and check at the end how many things you remembered.
- Praise effort more than results: mistakes are part of training memory too.
Connection to the book
Blu is the main character of "Blu, muy Blu", the story of his first day of school: he feels nervous and struggles to make friends, until he discovers that the key is believing in himself. After playing, read the book together and talk: what makes you nervous? What helps you feel confident?
See the bookA tip from Mora: play together for a short while, 5 to 10 minutes, and talk when you finish. Screens work best as a starting point for family conversations rather than as a solo activity: real learning happens in the conversation, which is the heart of the Mora method.
