BUCKET BALL
In this arcade-style game, players catapult balls into moving buckets. The buckets are illustrated with key vocabulary words and players need to land their balls into the right buckets before time runs out (example words: precipitation, instruments, athletics).
NAME 5 THINGS
Martha asks players to name five things that are part of a certain category (examples: creatures, flavors of ice cream, things that make you ecstatic). They get to pop balloons as they speak each answer.
STORY SOUNDS
In this game, players are asked to tell a story that incorporates a bunch of silly sound effects. Players are prompted with a setting for their story (examples: in the park, at the beach, in a castle) that will give them a foundation to build on.
STUFF SORT
Help Martha sort through a humongous pile of stuff! Players slide cards illustrated with key vocabulary words into a box before time runs out (example words: vehicle, summer, construction).
WHO AM I?
It’s show time! In this game, players act out occupations depicted with an illustration (example words: nurse, carpenter, singer). The other players have to guess who they are!
WORD CONNECTOR
In this game, players match pictures sitting at the end of stretchy ropes. Each picture is illustrated with a key vocabulary word (example words: artwork, money, beverage).
So what are you waiting for – first player to the doghouse wins!
ABOUT MARTHA SPEAKS
Martha Speaks Word Spinner features characters from the PBS KIDS animated TV series Martha Speaks. Aimed at viewers between the ages of four and seven, the series’ educational goal is to teach kids new words. Based on the children's book series by Susan Meddaugh and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, the series stars Martha, a beloved family dog. She is accidentally fed alphabet soup — this gives her the power of speech and the chance to speak her mind to anyone that will listen. Visit the series website at http://pbskids.org/martha/
Please update this app to work with iOS 11. My kids are sad and upset that it doesn’t work on their iPads anymore. Thanks.
My grandchildren loved this app. All of a sudden it won’t work. It reads, “the developer must update to use with iOS 11” please update! The kids miss it!
This app does not work!!! A waste of money!!! Do not purchase!
I downloaded it and it does work fine on the iPad2, but I'm not running iOS6.
I would love to try this with my son, but after the studio intro, the screen just goes blank... I really hope that they fix the problem as I would love to try it! MAybe it is a problem with iOS6, or more likely, PBS is making cutbacks in anticipation of Mitt Romney winning the election :(
I failed to look at the reviews first to see that this app is not working properly. Hopefully they will work out the bugs soon! And we will be able to use it. We love Martha at our house and it's so cool that the kids don't even realize they are learning. Please fix soon!
My daughter was so excited to try this... If it was free maybe not such a big deal... This is ridicules!!! Only can hear Martha doing an intro, but nothing else. Screen is BLANK!!!!!!
