This App is simple to use — each student looks at an illustration, and either reads the prompt or touches the screen to listen to the prompt. The student then gives a verbal response. After each answer, tap the green (correct) or red (incorrect) button to score the student’s verbal response. Move to the next card by sliding the card currently on the display screen to the side. To move to the next player, tap the bar at the top of the screen and select a name. You can also advance cards and players automatically by selecting the Auto-Advance option in the Game Options menu. You can leave a game temporarily and return to it later by selecting Pause Game from the menu. To return to the game, select Continue Game from the main menu. When you finish, view the results in a graph, and print or email your data.

I like the pictures in the categories. However, I didn’t like that iT doesn’t provide the correct response to the student.

No thanks

This app does not let the kids choose the category. It is based off the idea that the teacher is sitting there and listening to the student. Not worth it.

Love it!

I work with children one on one. It's a fabulous tool that allows children to use it as a highly motivating game for carry over. Regarding the last post, yes, I sit there with the child interacting and completing the category together. If you want to leave the child alone to do the game without interacting with them, then don't bother buying it. It's interactive just like the fun decks that super duper inc. sells for speech and language therapy. It's unfair to rate this fun deck if you don't have the proper training to use them.

Same as cards

No difference than real cards hoping to have a better motivator when correct. Teacher or student simply clicks red or green button to keep tally. No fun picture or sounds at the end. I rather have the physical deck if the technology is not there yet. Love the cards just not the app.

This is one of my favorite products from Super Duper so I had to have it as an app as well! I love it and use it all the time in therapy!!

Love the deck and the app

I agree with the review by Noble Morning Star. Super Duper, maybe you should write at the top of this page and others, "This app is not meant to be self guided by the child" or something along those lines for those who aren't familiar with the products you put out. Like I stated in one of my other reviews for you, this is a great app for what it is. I think it would be kind of cool to add the ability for the students to select an answer. You could present the screen like you normally do and then if the child needs assistance you could have a button at the bottom that says show choices and after you select it 2 or 3 answer choices pop up at the bottom. Just something to think about. Also, the data collector can be distracting. I think it would be a little better if it was a little more inconspicuous. So maybe just having the red and green buttons close together on the bottom right corner with no numbers and data will be collected and viewed later instead of during.

Deck to app

Love this deck and now I can use it on the iPad as well. My only suggestion is to hide the data collection and just show it at the end. It is very distracting to my kids.

Great app

This is a great app to help kids understand where things go and I like it because it is not multiple choice -- they have to figure out the answer.

Super!
They love it!

As an elementary school English as a second language teacher, I love Super Duper Fun Decks. Pictures are an indispensable tool for learning language. The pictures in this Fun Deck are a springboard for language production and comprehension. Teachers can use the images in conjunction with a sentence frame in order to structure and extend the students' responses. Sometimes I project the "card" from the iPad onto a screen and we play as a whole group. Other times I use the app to work with a smaller group of students so I can closely monitor their language production and listen to them explain their thinking. In whole group playing, student partners can confer with each other write their answers on a small white board. I award points for the correct answer AND for the partners explaining why they made the answer choice. Either way has the advantage of triggering metacognition as students have to explain their thinking. The teacher can also keep score within the app of the students' correct/incorrect responses. The colorful app keeps the students engaged and learning!
