We are constantly searching for new types of games we can add to make learning fun.
Now, we have added interactive word grids for topics such as Sight words and number names.
Response from users has been positive.
Interactive with the grid and find the words. Try it.
Badges are given to children as they complete games and activities related to a topic in the EdQueries E-learning site. The badges are displayed in the user’s profile, on the dashboard and within the course. The main idea of the badges is to motivate the children.
The question we asked ourselves, when creating the badges, was whether children would understand the significance of the badges, especially if the children are very young.
An interesting answer was provided by a Special Educator. “Parents like motivation too. They would be proud of the child’s achievements.”
That rung true. Parents are proud of their child’s achievements and it does give great satisfaction to collect the badges.
Once the child starts realising the significance of a prize, a medal; he or she is proud of all the medals won in the past as well.

In the Communications course, a few games and activities have been added to the Expressive Communications topic.
The Communications course is useful for children with Special needs. Games and activities make learning fun.
The following games have been added to the Expressive Communication topic:
In this game, the child has to look at the pictures and find something similar.
The child can touch or hover over the sentence to hear the sentence. Same with the options provided. A short video of the game is available at the link below ( you can subscribe to the YouTube channel and of course, this blog for regular updates).
Short demo of the Expressive Communication game
In this game, the student has to drag one of the words to fill the blank.
This game is based on some famous tales. The story has been represented with pictures. The student has to look at the pictures,read the question and then drag the correct picture to answer the question.
As with all the games, the software reads out the words on touching or hovering over the sentence.
While all children will enjoy these games and activities, children with Autism or ASD will benefit from these games. Children with Special needs can also learn reading while playing these games. The audio helps them read the words. If the child has learnt reading or is almost there, the audio can be switched off.
All games work on mobile devices ( iPad,iPhone, Android tabs and phones) as well as on laptop or pc.
Please provide your comments/ thoughts about these games.
Today we added some simple activities/games for children with Special needs to help them understand the Solar system.
This topic is part of the NIOS as well as other curricula such as C.B.S.E.
As with other games and activities these are related to a competency,which in turn can be associated to the student’s learning plan.
These are the games/activities added:
In this game the student has to touch ( on iPad, Other Tablet devices and any other device supporting touch ) or click ( using mouse ) the planet to answer the question.
The game is short and there is no time limit. It supports unlimited attempts. If the child has difficulty reading, the child can listen to the question. The question is repeated if the child touches or hovers over the text.
If the child touches the wrong planet, the software shows the correct answer with a short explanation.
This is simple activity where the child has to drag the right answer to fill in the blanks.
Three choices are provided. Once again the game is short, has no time limit and allows unlimited attempts.

As part of the English Reading series, we have created a simple game to teach the usage of the question mark and period (full stop).
As with all our games and activities,the games are:
The game works on all devices.
The EdQueries E-learning subscription allows you to use the E-Learning software on any device.
iPad, iPhone, Android Mobile or Tab can be used. On the device the software can be used with the Mobile app or with a browser such as Google Chrome or Safari.
This provides multiple usage options as each child may have a different preference.
This also helps when you are travelling and want to use another device. The mobile app allows offline use, so that you can use the activities even when there is no internet connection.
So, use it on one or all device at home. Your choice. Rather, let the student choose!
