Exciting interactive activities are provided that are designed to develop memory and matching skills, as well as giving students a solid foundation in the basics of telling the time and handling money. Students are encouraged to do well in the tasks by colourful characters.

In the time activities students have fun taking part in games where they learn to recognise and compare digital and analogue time in four different formats: digital clocks, clock faces, numbers, and words, always in the context of familiar situations such as the kitchen and the sports stadium. The activities include practice in exploring time-spans in full hour, half-hour, quarter-hour, and five-minute intervals.

In the money activities practice is given in recognising coins, choosing what to spend within a given budget, working out how much change will be left, and learning different ways of expressing the same amount of money. The activities are all based on real-life situations such as shopping in a supermarket and buying lunch in a cafeteria. Animated on-screen feedback provides encouragement and increases comprehension.

Important features of the Lifeskills software include the inbuilt scanning option and the wide range of teachers options that allow the content of each of the seven activities to be customised to meet the needs of individual pupils.
