Hi Its us Kara we love this game we love math And this app is very fun we can even paint Also going up the mountain is so fun we can even learn to do sight words we love painting so we can paint in this game its so fun we love this game Thank you for making it Bye.
Timmys kindergarten adventure is a game about Timmy whos dad is a abusive father and a raging alcoholic his dad gets drafted into the Vietnam war and dies a slow and painful death when little Timmy hears about this he is forced to avenge his father and he travels to German to blow up a kindergarten truly a burial story full of heartbreak and tragedy.
For those who arent familiar, Timmys Kindergarten Adventure is an award winning mobile game that tells the beautiful story of Timmy Blackfly, a beloved father and husband who is really struggling. He is barely able to keep a home, struggling with his worklife, and is diagnosed with intestinal cancer. In the mid fourties, he and his brother, Caesar, are drafted into World War II. During an extremely intense battle in the Himalayan Mountains, Caesar is killed. After the battle, Timmy is sent on a mission to retrieve plans from a school. After a grueling journey, he finally reaches the school. Heres our complaint. Timmy is a loyal man, and would never destroy the plans. He would do whatever was necessary to help his family, and if that meant surviving in the war and following orders, he would do it. Timmy is killed for nothing, and the devs should have gotten their characters straight. As a proud fan of the Timmys Kindergarten Adventure Videogamic Universe, Timmy wouldnt do such a selfish thing, willingly endangering his beloved family. And then he has the nerve to feel bad for getting them killed. And he would never have seeked revenge against Morgan for killing his family, hes not the vengeful type. Its a beautiful story, but the last few chapters dont make sense to us.
This is great example of how gamification can help motivate people to do otherwise undesirable tasks. The player must complete math, word identification, phonics, and time-telling activities in order to play the fun mini-games that are at the end of game. Also, by performing the academic tasks well, the player accumulates credits that can be used to buy trophies (dont worry, no in-app purchases, it is purely symbolic). This has teaches the value of saving toward a goal, and greater rewards for good performance. Im pretty impressed by some of the math problems, which border on basic algebra (solve for x), like 2 + x = 5. We dont think hes been exposed to this kind of problem before, and it was pretty cool to see it register with him. On Saturday he asked to watch only one TV program so that hed have more time to play this game. Im sure any parent of a 5 year-old can appreciate it's significance.
For us, the proof is in the results! Our 5 yr old is solving the subtraction, word and time problems faster and still enjoying herself! It's fun, it gets progressively more challenging and she loves the interactive store at the end!!! She chooses to play this game over all the hundreds of other apps we have!!! Thank you for this.
We like this game it helps our kids learn our 6 year old is learning words she has never Sean in her life and learning them!! She is going to 1st grade but if your child is in 1st grade they may still play even know this game is for kindergarden and Preschool kids they can play our 7 year old plays it so anyone can play and also they need to start to make ones for 1st graders 2ed graders 3ed graders and the hole way to fifth graders!! But other wise there is so much to do and nothing is boring but one this the mountain it takes too much time to walk up the mountain and jump down from the mountain but other wise this is a great game.
GOOD WAY TO WASTE TIME KIDS DONT WANNA DO SCHOOL THEY WANNA PLAY.
This FREE app is not worth it…it is over in 3 minutes. However, it is a good app if you buy the real app for 1.99 then it extends and gets harder as the child does better work.
What a great game! Eventually we may be able to put it down long enough to let our kid play it. It's worked wonders on our addition and ability to tell time! This is a visually stunning game, one of the best we've seen on the ipad. Animations are smooth and there isnt a bug to be seen anywhere. We think there's even more treats awaiting in the paid version, we better go pick that up while it's still on sale.
