Fish School by Duck Duck Moose

Updated:  May 6 , 2010

ABOUT THE APP:

Award-winning independent children’s app developer Duck Duck Moose has announced the launch of Fish School 1.0 for the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad.  In this interactive app, colorful schools of fish transform themselves into different letters, numbers, shapes, colors, matching games, and more.

Fish School includes 8 fun educational activities that will engage children:

1.  LETTERS – Learn the alphabet.  Watch fish make the letters and discover that “A is for apple…”
2.  NUMBERS – Learn numbers by counting fish from 1 to 20.
3.  SHAPES – Follow the fish as they make different shapes.
4.  ABC SONG – Sing this favorite song and watch as the letters change to match the song!
5.  COLORS – Pick a swimming fish of any color, and watch the ocean scene transform into that color.
6.  DIFFERENCES – Figure out “Which fish does not belong?”
7.  MATCHING – Find the matching fish in this memory game.
8.  PLAYTIME – Play with a sea of colorful fish and watch what happens when you touch them.  Tap a fish to make it swim faster.  Drag a fish to move it.  Hold down a fish to make it grow bigger.

Music recorded especially for this app includes the popular ABC Song and Mozart variations on the melody, performed by violin and cello.

MY THOUGHTS:

Having the Wheels on the Bus by Duck Duck Moose, I knew we would also love Fish School.  It is colorful, bright, and very kid-friendly.  To change games you just click the bottom button on the left of the screen and it goes to one of the other 7 games available.  There is just so much to do that I have yet to see my son get bored or even play all the games for that matter. My 3 year old is at the perfect age for this game as he is learning his letters, shapes, numbers, colors, and item differences.  Then there are two other games that inlcude memory and just playing around with fishes!

I highly recommend Fish School if you have a preschool or even kindergarten-aged child and are looking for an App that is fun but also educational.  Even when I was reviewing this app I enjoyed it!  For less than $1 it is an awesome App to get your child excited about learning and what better way than with adorable fish!
