Gardner's multiple intelligences: they are audio/visual, bodily kinesthetic, logical mathematical and can be either interpersonal or intrapersonal.
Piaget and Vygotsy's use of language and culture are essential elements here, as is Prensky's digital natives: today's children naturally inhabit the world of ICT games.
Bruner's scaffolded learning, where mastery of one step naturally leads to the next level.
Spady's specific outcomes learning, as you can chose or design a game with a specific learning goal.
Connectivist: Different types of game tasks can be drawn together to form a complete end goal, or win.
This particular game is quite good for young children, my 7 year old loves it. It teaches children a number of real life concepts: they can chose a character and inhabit their space; they must do specific "jobs" to earn money to buy goods; they must save what they earn to afford the more expensive items in the catelogues; they must feed and care for their pets, or they run away! ; they can meet their friends in specific meeting places.
The kids get together and discuss at school where they are up to and how to achieve tasks.
