![]() The theme of the game was inspired by a 2.5-year-old who requested a game of this name, and for the cross-cultural childhood fascination with both primates and waste disposal. Each of the 3 stages offers a different star color, both to enhance play and to indicate progress. This bonus system was developed from theories of emergent play and intrinsic rewards. They can be used to decorate the monkey or the rooftop, or to create a barrier that breaks when new stars arrive. Up in the rooftop selection area these stars are available for play. When all 4 matches in the garbage truck have been made, the player gets a star. In each stage tapping the items in the truck activates supportive sound files by native speakers.Īll 100 words are available at each learning stage, so the learner can practice and then perform, gaining confidence as they go from screen to screen. In stage 3 they perform by matching the word to the picture.In stage, 2 the player practices vocabulary by matching pictures to words without the outline, unless they tap the word for a hint.In stage 1 the player learns vocabulary by matching pictures to words surrounded by the picture outline.The game starts up on the rooftops, to select 1 of 3 stages: Learning, Practice, and Awesome. MGT offers a playful game designed around this word-recognition mode of learning. Those learning a language typically pick up words in two ways: through sounding them out phonetically, and through “whole word” recognition – such as pairing words with pictures. With Monkey Garbage Truck we seek to fill a specific educational niche: top-down word acquisition. While there are no shortage of literacy games in English, how many apps can you find to learn Zulu (South Africa), or Coccia (Peru)? The game is being developed for the Global Literacy Project, a non-profit organization that encourages native-language literacy in developing communities by donating tabelts loaded with native literacy apps. In Monkey Garbage Truck early readers learn a hundred simple words in a variety of languages. Initially available in multiple languages including Zulu and Spanish. The game is expected to be released in 2016, Intended to promote early literacy in developing communities.
