New Kindle Games: Flash Cards (for Kids)

Digi Ronin Games has released two new Kindle Apps in their Flash Cards for Kids series today. Both display pictures and then require a properly spelled name to be entered, so can be used both by kids learning to spell or those who are newly learning the English language (although the scope of the game is a bit limited). For kids, though, just seeing foods in their native state may be something they are not used to (in one school, most kids had never seen a potato in it's native state, let alone an eggplant, despite eating french fries on a regular basis).

Flash Cards: Animals for Kids ($1.99)

Flash Cards for Kids: Animals helps children learn to recognize 81 different animals while helping them with their alphabet and spelling skills.

Flash Cards: Foods for Kids ($1.99)

Flash Cards: Foods allows children to use flash cards to learn 76 new foods while reinforcing their alphabet and spelling skills.

Children can review words that are new to them, practice with multiple-choice options, or fill in answers directly. The title has two different play modes, each with three levels of difficulty. The first play mode shows a picture of a food and asks children to learn by typing the first letter of its name. The second play mode shows a picture of a food and asks children to spell out its entire name.

To give students timely feedback, correct answers are acknowledged and incorrect answers are corrected immediately upon submitting an answer. A high score table tracks the ten highest scores to help track progress and improvement.
