Name That Category Bundle 4+

These four colorful, educational apps for the iPhone®, iPad®, and iPod touch® each have over 50 illustrated picture flash cards. The three “Name That Category” apps include audio of each card’s text. Select the cards you want students to see, and have them practice their describing, categorizing, and organizational skills. The prompts include fill-in-the-blank statements like, “A car, bike, and train are ___,” “A cardinal, robin, and eagle are ___,” and “A broom, vacuum, and mop are ___.” The “What Doesn’t Belong” app includes pictures of three or four items, like an elephant, a lion, and a toaster, from which to choose what does not belong.

These apps are simple to use — each student looks at an illustration, and for text either reads the prompt or touches the screen to listen to it. The student then gives a verbal response. After each answer, tap the green (correct) or red (incorrect) button to score the student’s verbal response. Move to the next card by sliding the card currently on the display screen to the side. To move to the next player, tap the bar at the top of the screen and select a name. You can also advance cards and players automatically by selecting the Auto-Advance option in the Game Options menu. You can leave a game temporarily and return to it later by selecting Pause Game from the menu. To return to the game, select Continue Game from the main menu. When you finish, view the results in a graph, and print or email your data.

Each app lets you:
• Use the app in portrait or landscape orientation
• Select all cards or just the ones you want students to see
• Track correct and incorrect responses for an unlimited number of players
• Advance players and cards manually or automatically
• Receive feedback for incorrect and/or correct responses
• Discontinue game play and continue at any time
• View results in a graph and see which questions a player missed during a session
• Print, E-mail and share your results
