Animal Noses 1 FREE

Narizes Animais

An educational game about the fascinating variety of noses to be found in the Animal Kingdom, suitable for students studying Biology from grade 5 onwards. This game uses 50 photos of noses from amphibians and fish to reptiles, birds and mammals, with interesting facts about each one.

Students hear a name spoken and choose the matching photo. After six right in a row, Race Mode starts automatically. It asks questions at speed to test the students' memory and comprehension of the names just covered, before continuing with new names. At the end of the race, students can see how well they have done relative to their other races. The game gradually focuses on any names that the students have difficulty recognizing, and speeds up as competence is gained.

By contrast to Race Mode, Story Mode slowly introduces new names by saying them as the photos are shown, allowing students to quietly look, listen and learn.

The game is controlled by on-screen gestures which are simple to demonstrate and easy to use, and the game can be played without voice prompts.
