Hopefully it’s not against the rules, if so, please let me know and I’ll remove the post. Anyway:


I made an educational open source game for small kids (2-6 yo) where they can match cute animals (currently sea and dinosaur theme packs).

Features:

  • cute pictures
  • works on both a phone and a tablet
  • multiple theme packs
  • fully free, no tracking or anything
  • there are multiple flavours, one of which bundles all of the assets and doesn’t even have the permission to access the internet <- great if you’re extra cautious
  • big buttons, no reading necessary, small kids friendly

It can be downloaded both from GitHub and the Play Store.

    This will have fantastic use for primary level as well - maybe another separate (but closely related) app. Do consider special educational needs, e.g.

    • emotion recognition, so pairs of happy faces, sad faces, angry faces etc to help the children detect emotions in the real world, simple animals and objects,
    • images of nouns that are called “CVC” words - that’s consonant, vowel, consonant words, like cat, dog, boy, bat (as in cricket), etc
    • colours, so basic shapes in brightly different colours
    • letters, yep, just letters of the alphabet (and why stop at the english alphabet) - so a grid of vowels, and another of simple letters (not q,z,x etc)

    Also, could you show the name of the object to the side of the grid? And also… add an optional timer to complete the level by, or just to time how long it takes them?

    Good job!
