About this game

Grow Up offers the opportunity for kids to learn English through fun games with exciting visuals and sounds. The games are easy enough for them to not be annoyed by failure, but at the same time engaging enough to help them actually learn the language. The games offered in the app are separated into three different categories, each for a different type of learning.

Functions:
- 3 main game-types
- Ranking
- Missions
- Profile
- Settings

The games offered in the app are separated into three different categories, each for a different type of learning.
In ABC Spelling the kids can choose from 6 different categories, such as animals, fruits, vegetables, numbers, colors, and “everything”, and they have to put the letters of the word in order for each object popping up on the screen. If they ever get stuck, they have the option 3 times each session to have the game complete a word for them that they are having trouble with.
Reading and Logic has three different games itself, each aimed to better the kids’ understanding of the English alphabet. In “Read A-Z”, they can have a cute little kitten help them read out the letters of the alphabet, have items come up like an apple, a bee, or a clock so they can hear the letters actually being used in words, or have a kind voice read out names of animals for them, such as “A for alligator”. With “Find Image” they have to pick one of three objects that starts with a certain letter of the alphabet. In “Puzzle” they can learn about the shapes of the letters as they have to use three puzzle pieces to put each letter together.
Coloring is aimed more at relaxing the kids after learning, in this game they can choose black and white pictures of cute animals and color them however they like with many available brush styles and color options, which include even a sparkle brush and a rainbow pencil!

The app also has other functions to help the kids almost forget about the fact that they are learning, and make them be in it for the sake of the game - while of course improving their English skills. The players are ranked on a leaderboard, which means they can have the objective to be the best at the games, which in turn makes them want to play more, therefore learn more. For each completed task the kids receive badges. We all know they love to collect things, and the more they learn, the more badges they will collect. This again adds a little incentive for learning.

In their profile, kids can collect lives that allow them to make mistakes and still continue their session, and they can collect their points here as well, which they need to advance after a certain point. Here they also have their own avatar they can customize to look completely or nothing like them, it is all up to the kids! The settings include choosing between hard and easy difficulty levels, and toggling the sounds and notifications of the game as well.
