For a limited time, all i Learn With Boing apps are being offered for $.99 and i Learn With Boing: Savannah Adventures is FREE.  These apps are geared towards 3 – 6 year olds. All i Learn With apps have the option for children to register so that they can earn rewards to play with on Planet Boing (a FREE central app that goes with the i Learn With series). Parents can also track their child’s progress if the child registers.

i Learn With Boing: Savannah Adventures has three math games: counting, ordering, and calculating. In the counting game, kids are asked to help the meerkat make soup by matching the pictured amount of ingredients with the written numeral (1 – 20). If kids touch any of the items, the total is named. Instead, I wish app counted the items (for kids who still need that) with the option to disable. In the ordering game, kids guide a frog across the pond by choosing the next number (1 – 20). The ordering doesn’t always start at 1 and there is variety in this game. Numbers may be ascending, descending or in a simple pattern (by 2’s or 10’s). In the calculating game, kids add the correct number of ostriches to a truck to reach a total. This game can be played alone or with a friend. Overall, this app is cute and nicely done. It would be fun for young kids who already know their numbers and are ready for some beginning math skills. The i Learn With program is brought to you by the developers of PBS KIDS PLAY and CBC Wonderworld online learning programs.
