The "Listen to Bird call patterns" game
Made for 6 year olds onwards. You begin by dragging the birds over their matching environment to begin the game. Press "start" and then "speel" and a bird will call. The goal is to see how far you can imitate the pattern of bird calls without making a mistake. The game can be played endlessly and you can always begin again to improve on your score by clicking on "Nog een keer".
Made in 2004 for the "Huisje Boomje Beestje" schooltv.nl website for a theme on 'birds'. The game teaches you to listen for patterns as well as to learn to recognize the bird's call.
The Water Game
Made for 6 to 12 year olds, children need to drag the things that do not belong in the water into the rubbish container. Bottles of water empty as a timer. The score at the end indicates which items were correctly located and which ones were not. The number is the amount that have been correctly moved into the rubbish container. Each time the game is played 8 out of a total of 16 possible objects appear.
The Cat and Mouse Party Story Game
