Read full description

Safarispel is an educational game where children learn Afrikaans spelling and phonics of animal names as they drive through the African savanna. HOW IT WORKS 1. EXPLORE: Drive through a calm safari scene and spot animals hiding in the bush. Animals appear randomly and every game drive is different. 2. SPELL: Hear letter sounds as you drag tiles into the right slots to spell the animal's name. 3. LEARN: Complete the word to reveal the animal, and discover a fun animal fact. 4. COLLECT: Earn stickers for your field guide. Find all 16 iconic African animals to complete your collection. WHAT CHILDREN LEARN Phonemic awareness: recognise and distinguish Afrikaans letter sounds Letter recognition: visual and auditory Vocabulary: new words in meaningful context Reading readiness: foundation for early literacy Fine motor skills: drag-and-drop interaction Wildlife education: facts about 16 iconic South African animals AUTHENTICALLY AFRIKAANS Proudly made in South Africa with quality Afrikaans pronunciation throughout. Compound sounds (EEU, OU, IE, UI, TJIE) are taught as single units, the way Afrikaans is actually spoken. Built from scratch by a native Afrikaans-speaking parent (not translated).
