Because little chicks make big brain stretches feel like play! 🐥

Jumping Chicks

This week’s digital gem is Jumping Chicks on Arcademics.com. It is a deceptively simple-looking game that’s perfect for keeping minds from preschool through fifth grade sharp over the summer!

A little chick needs to cross the pond, and your child is the only one who can help! A number appears at the bottom of the screen, and kids must quickly guide the chick to the matching group of lily pads. Get it right, and the chick happily hops to the other side. Get it wrong, and the poor little chick lets out a sad little squawk before plopping into the water!

At first glance, it looks like a simple counting game, but don’t be fooled. The lily pads are arranged differently, so kids are constantly practicing number recognition, pattern recognition, visual discrimination, and quick thinking.

The game can be played in single player or multi-player mode. It becomes surprisingly challenging as kids race to keep their chick hopping. Older kids will love trying to beat their best times, while younger ones can simply enjoy building confidence with counting.

Add this gem to their Aneta homerooms and smile knowing you’ve snuck a little math into summer without anyone complaining.

This is screen time you can truly feel good about. 😁
