Mock-up grocery shopping game

This is a grocery shopping game I might want to create as an actual game. Before that I tried it on the paper. Each aisle has different stuff so it will help kids to learn many useful, everyday vocabulary words.


This is the basic setting - commanding phrase, cart, monster's hands



You will see "I want something" in three different languages.


Use monster's hands to wander around and get the right object. If you got it wrong, then try it again.


This time you are supposed pick banana and put it into the cart.

Bilingual games


There are bilingual games with famous characters like Dora(Amazon.com Sales Rank: #774 in Toys & Games), Diego and Sesame Street in the market. And there's scholastic game bilingual game series. I will need to see how effective it is.



Apple store in SOHO





I went to the Apple store to check out the kid's game section. There were games like Dora sketch, Lego Batman adventure, Barney sing along with me, etc. Barney was popular for both girls and boys whereas Lego Batman was for boys and Dora was for girls, mainly. This observation helps my character design because my game will target both girls and boys.

Children's museum



Many games at the museum uses matching sound and visual as a learning guide.
