41 / 87 ABSTRACT: In today’s fast -paced and convenience-driven world, many children face challenges in developing basic life skills such as independence, responsibility, empathy, and safety awareness. Traditional classroom learning often lacks the interactive, real-life application needed to internalize these values, especially among young learners. There is a growing need for child-friendly educational tools that are engaging, accessible, and effective in building moral character and practical independence in everyday settings. Mission To Be Independent: Every Hero Starts At Home (Little Hero) is an educational game-based learning experience designed for children aged 7 and above, including those with neurodiverse needs. The game follows the journey of Aliyah, a kind and brave young girl, as she learns to become independent, responsible, and morally upright through real-life situations at home, school, and in her community. The game is structured into three meaningful parts, each focusing on different aspects of daily life, at home, at school and finally outdoors. Little Hero aims to: • Teach children how to be independent and responsible in daily routines. • Foster respect, honesty, and compassion through moral choices. • Increase awareness of safety, especially in public spaces. • Instill core Madani values and support SDG 4: Quality Education.
