This game requires the child to stack up blocks according to the correct order and it includes both alphabets and numbers. To make it more challenging, the numbers increase with each round, and the letters start randomly. This will help children recognize numbers and letters, thus improving their skills in patterning and sequencing. With this game, we can teach children using a hands on method instead of giving them worksheets and "whiteboard teaching". Children will also be kept interested because they will be required to complete the game within a certain time frame. Furthermore, chidlren will most probably see it as a game instead of a chore, and teachers will also love it because children will not only be having fun, but also be indirectly enriching their learning. We feel that this game is suitable for children between 4-6 years old.
This game requires the children to place items which pollute the earth and are left lying around into the respective recycling bins, matching them according to the materials they are made of, for example, newspapers belong in the paper recycling bin. This creates environmental awareness and teaches the value of not littering, respecting the earth and learning to recycle. Children will enjoy this game because it requires full concentration as they have to look for the materials hidden in the forest, thus keeping them engaged. Furthermore, it improves their eye-hand coordination as they will have to click on the mouse and drag the object to the recycling bin. As teachers, they will find this game useful because the children will be able to apply what they learn in this game into everyday life. Instead of constantly drilling into the children about recycling, this game allows the children to be a part of recycling and cleaning the earth, which will most likely influence them to put it into practice. This game is suitable for children aged 5-6 years old.
