Matching Animals (easy)

In the Matching Animals game, a child must again match objects (on the right of the screen) with the correct target (on the left of the screen). This game incorporates two additional features for a child to notice: size (example below on the left) and orientation (example below on the right):

Level 11: Notice the size of the target animal

Level 12: Notice which direction the animal is facing

After a child works through easier levels that require attending to a single feature, the game moves on to puzzles that require noticing multiple features at the same time.

For example, the puzzle below requires attending to both the color (orange) and the shape (zebra) of the target object. If a child is not attending to both cues, he or she may pick the distractor with the same color as the target (the orange giraffe) or the distractor with the same shape as the target (the pink zebra). A child needs to notice both the color and the shape of the target to make the right choice.

Level 14: Notice the color and shape of the target animal

The game culminates with advanced puzzles in which each distractor differs from the target by a single characteristic, requiring simultaneous attention to four cues: color, shape, size, and orientation:

Level 49: Notice the color, shape, size and orientation of the target animal
