The game is simple: child touches the yellow, active present. Some presents reveal an interesting object and some are empty. But watch out for that naughty Bunny Foo Foo trying to swipe your presents!
The game improves visual tracking skills that allow students to follow words in a book without losing their place. It improves fixation which is needed to maintain attention on a word. Rapid eye movement between fixation points (saccades) allows kids to jump from one word to another quickly and accurately.
Children with disabilities might benefit from exercises that help improve eye-hand coordination.
When not playing against Bunny Foo Foo, there is no time pressure - the child can do it at his/her own pace.
The game features fun pictures and cheering child voice to keep your little player engaged.
Nice app. Would love to see them speed up the gift opening as Child gets better at the game so it becomes a bit more challenging.
The first (and only) screen visible is the page of presents. When you tap the one that's lit, a child's voice comes on and says either something positive like "way to go" or negative like "too bad". Whether you get it rit or wrong, the voice msgs are random, which often give negative responses for right answers. Very demotivating and confusing for a child with reading problems. Also, i have yet to see a present with a gift inside. This app should have been free until the developer figured out how to make it work effectively. There are other similar apps that actually work and are worth the $. This one isn't even worth the time it took to write this. Just wanted to save others fromwasting their $.
This is handy for a 10 min session of vision therapy
