Pumpkin 3D is a pleasing holiday diversion, which allows you to carve a pumpkin and decorate a scene with fun items. When you’re finished with your spooky creation, take a snapshot and share with your friends and family. There are a variety of eyes, mouths, noses, and lids to choose from. Feel free to mix and match each feature making your pumpkin as goofy or scary as you like. When you’re done carving, top off your pumpkin with props like hats or glasses. Lastly, make the scene picture perfect by adding various Halloween themed objects around the scene. Use swipes to navigate through pages of decorations, and taps to place them on and off. Dimmer can be used to turn down the lighting in the scene. Enjoy the holiday themed music and spooky sound effects that frighten you with every tap. When you are satisfied with your creation, use pinch and swipe to position the camera, take a snapshot of your work, save it in your photo album, and send it to your friends and family!

Part of the Indoor Recess Games CFS Bundle Your job is to match the pattern displayed and complete as many as possible within the time limit. Select from the five colors in the row along the bottom of the screen. Then tap in the correct grid location for each matching color in the pattern. After you complete a pattern, a new pattern will automatically be displayed. Point totals are now adjusted with a ‘bonus’ based on the length of time the target pattern is displayed... the shorter the pattern is displayed, the higher the bonus. Adjust the time for the display of the target pattern from one tenth of a second to 2.5 seconds. 10 Hints are available where the full pattern is shown. Each time you use a Hint, the length of time the pattern is displayed is reduced and the penalty increases. The first Hint is shown for 1 second and reduces your score by 10 points. Top 10 scores for each of the four Challenge Levels are automatically recorded in the app. Given that my target audience focuses on elementary students and schools, I’ve elected not to include Game Center as an option for recording scores. Number Sense: Kindergarten and First Grade. The Fledgling level has been designed to work as a pattern recognition activity. The patterns are displayed in a "domino-like," 3x3 grid.
