A fun and challenging sound-matching game for all, fully accessible for students with blindness and visual impairment. Challenge your listening and memory skills and try to beat your hi-score. As you navigate the digital game grid to locate, memorize and pair the matching sounds you will develop conceptual understanding of rows and columns – an essential skill for mathematics and other STEM subjects. Re-engineered for improved interaction.
Tips and full instructions for this app from the award winning ‘Ballyland’ suite of accessible educational game apps can be found on the Sonokids website.
"As a teacher, working with children around the world, I have witnessed how Ballyland apps allow children with and without a visual impairment to play and learn together. Ballyland Sound Memory is not only a fun game, but it also helps children to acquire important skills preparing them for use of technology and mathematics. I have combined the use of this app with tactile diagrams of grids, rows, and columns to create blended teaching, producing accessible multi-sensory learning that highly benefits children with blindness and vision impairment."
