World of Colour 1 FREE

彩色的世界

An educational game to teach useful vocabulary, suitable for students from grade 1 onwards and those studying English as a second language. The game uses 140 photos of everyday objects to teach the names of 14 common colours.

Students hear the name of a colour 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 colours just covered, before continuing with new colours. 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 colours that the students have difficulty recognizing, and speeds up as competence is gained.

By contrast to Race Mode, Story Mode slowly introduces new colours 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.
