word games for kids

Loved this app, would have given it 5stars, until the update made it not work anymore. :(

Oh what fun!

Just got this app a few days ago, before update. My kinder students had a blast. They absolutely loved it & boy did it help them recognize & read words quickly. A great game to fill in time for those fast workers.

Great app but

There should not be any ads in kids apps. I love the concept and I would use it with my class but with the ads, it will not be used.

Fast, fun and educational

Fast paced, fun and helps your child's reading. My 8 year old gave me a run for my money!

Very Intelligent

This app is quite good - fun for kids of all ages, and has tremendous potential in schools and learning settings. The Dropbox feature is nice for expanding content. Don't avoid it because some dope gives low ratings based their expectation to get something for nothing. I paid $1.99 for the pro or full version after seeing my own kids (5, 3, and 2 years old) very engaged with the two-player sample version. I teach middle school and the kids enjoy the interface. I look forward to updates and using it for reviews of material. Thanks for making it open to user content.

Not great

Lots of distractions on the screen. Pictures too cutesy. Word choices not great; e.g. the word choice for backpack was 'bag.' ~ a teacher

Potential

Very fun but a little too easy. I love the suggestion of making some of the word choices similar. My daughter was able to guess based on the first letter. Maybe add levels to increase the challenge?

Promising

A cute game, but before I use it with students I would want to see a couple of fixes. Firstly, please get rid of the uppercase letters at the beginning of all the words. Teachers spend a lot of time teaching kids when to use them - at the beginning of sentences or proper nouns - and it would be helpful if this game followed the rules! Secondly, could you make it a little harder for kids to guess by sometimes having 2 or more of the word choices begin with the same letter? (I do like the fact that if kids do guess they only get one chance, but if only one word begins with that sound it is too easy to guess correctly!)

Fun, easy and educational!

Futaba is a fantastic app for language learning. We love the fact that we can easily customize it by creating games based on our son's weekly spelling lists. He can play by himself against the clock or we can join in the game and "compete" against him. It makes learning that much fun for him and less of a headache for us.
