Genre: Typing Game

My team (Ardelia, Monique) is planning to create a kindergarten game that aims to introduce kindergartens to typing in keyboards.

Getting familiar with the key placement, and typing in general, is important to be learnt at a very young age. However, a lot of people still overlook this skill.

Game Concept

Through our game, the kindergartens will not only learn to type, they will also be able to differentiate different types of animals and how to spell them (Alphabets), how to do addition and subtractions with the aid of pictures of animals (Numbers), and also spell out/differentiate different colours of the animals on screen (Colours).

Game Modes

Alphabets
– Pictures of an animal and the word (colour: white) will appear on screen. User will have to press the keys in order to highlight the letter. Once all the letters are highlighted, the next word and animal will appear.

Numbers
– random + and – equations will appear on screen, including the numbers and animals (amount of animals vary according to the numbers in the equation). Users will type in the number and try to count up the result. Once they get the result, they need to type the number in, then the game will give another set of new, randomized, equation.

Colours
– A name of colour will appear on screen, including the animal with the corresponding colour. Similar to the alphabets, users need to type in the correct order of spelling of the colours. When each correct key is pressed, the white letter will be coloured according to the corresponding colour.

Conclusion

Our game aims to teach them to get used to the key placement and at the same time also cover common kindergarten categories such as “Alphabets”, “Colours”, and “Numbers”. We plan to do this by using an intriguing theme, “Animals”, as the learning object.

Our game, will surely be family-friendly and is designed to catch the attention of kindergartens to prevent boredom.

Note: This proposal is our initial plan of the game and it might change over the course of development.
