    “Martha Speaks with chicken soup”



    Kids can feed the dogs, dress up the dogs, direct the dogs' activities, and quiz their knowledge with the familiar animated canine Martha and her chicken soup language. This app uses familiar acitivites for young learners to interact with language, math, science, art, movement, and colors with animated canines, text, and audio for recognition and directionality. A great experience for skill building.

    “Martha's Dog Party explores language through bizarre interaction with dogs. ”



    Dress the dogs for the party for a bit of fun, explore descriptive language as you offer the dogs some food by finding the plates described - i.e. find the plate with the circles on it, find the rectangle etc. Martha Says is the final game - a Martha take on 'Simon Says' that explores running, sitting, walking and stopping and a number of synonyms for the same actions.

Colour in some paper plates with different patterns, cut them into dofferent shapes and cut and stick different magazine pictures on them (activity 1!). When the paper plates activity is done use your child's favourite stuffed animals to play the game. "Teddy would like to use the red plate, can you find me the red plate?" Initially offer simple patterns / descriptions and make the choice from only three plates, as skills develop make more complicated plates that explore more complex vocabulary and increase the number of plates to be chosen from.
