Kahoot! Geometry by DragonBox
What's It About?
KAHOOT! GEOMETRY BY DRAGONBOX begins with a simple, nicely animated background story about a monster taking over a tower, offered in 17 languages. Kids have to collect critters to build an army and fight the monster. They do this by solving the puzzles. Kids can choose from two challenges: normal or hard. Once they choose a challenge, kids work their way through 10 puzzles to progress to the next level. The levels are organized into seven chapters, and kids learn new powers, or rules, in each chapter. As kids solve the puzzles, they develop an understanding of different geometric concepts. However, the game does not review or reinforce the concepts directly, so, if you want kids to be able to transfer what they've learned to another learning environment, it's important to use the parent and teacher resources on the developer's website.
