Top 10 Cereals FREE

An introduction to the world's top 10 cereals, suitable for students studying Geography and Biology from grade 5 onwards. This game uses 50 photos of crops, harvesting, grains and the foods they become for each of Barley, Buckwheat, Maize, Millet, Oats, Rice, Rye, Sorghum, Triticale and Wheat. With interesting spoken facts such as annual worldwide production and top producing countries.


Students hear a name or fact spoken and choose the matching photo. They then hear more information which they will need to answer subsequent questions. After six right in a row, Race Mode starts automatically. It asks questions at speed to test the students' memory and comprehension of the names and facts just covered, before continuing with new ones. At the end of the race, students can see how well they have done relative to their other races. The game gradually focuses on any names and facts that the students have difficulty recognizing, and speeds up as competence is gained.


By contrast to Race Mode, Story Mode slowly introduces new names and facts by saying them as the photos are shown, allowing students to quietly look, listen and learn.


The game is controlled by on-screen gestures which are simple to demonstrate and easy to use, and the game can be played without voice prompts.
