Shhhh! vs Build Some More

Old Wilfred is trying to get some sleep, touch the door or press one switch to let in a noisy musician. Touch Wilfred or press the second switch and he will say Shhhh! to send the music away. Or listen to the whole tune and keep Wilfred awake! This activity has been designed to provide an error-less activity to develop early touch and targeting skills as well as helping a switch user develop the concept that two switches can control a single activity. Clear bright graphics on a dark screen with great sound effects make this game ideal for users with visual or perceptual difficulties. The clear simple presentation and great feedback make this a really fun activity for young children and provides lots of opportunity for language development and turn taking. This activity uses large clear targets to encourage the user to develop a controlled touch to move on from random touching to making deliberate choices. Key Features: • Two clear targets to encourage locating and touching skills. • Clear black background to help children with visual impairments locate the targets. • Accepts input from currently available switch interfaces. • Turn taking opportunities using touch or two switches. • Errorless fun to explore the use of two switches. • Learn that two switches can control a single activity.

Build Some More is a very early years cause and effect program. It has a wide range of abstract and representational images that build up and animate after 1 - multiple presses. The activities are on a variety of backgrounds to cater to different visual needs of users. Similarly activities can have a variety of background sounds to suit the acoustic requirements of different users. Switch settings are available to permit responses from any switch, alternating switches, random switches or a cooperative switch mode where both switches have to be pressed together (useful for teacher to control the flow of an activity if they have one of the swiches or to get two users to cooperate). Some of the activities are deliberately very strong visually to support user with visual impairments and some use occlusion and animations to encourage visual development/training. Input is from touch, keys, external switches or gamepad. Sensory Build Some More contains no adverts, does not require a subscription and does not collect data.
