Gobble's Colour Snacks

How to play

1. Type your child’s name, then pick a level. The game fills the screen and counts down: “Ready, set, go!”
2. Gobble the monster asks for a colour, like “Feed me something red!”. The colour is written at the top too. Tap it to hear Gobble again.
3. Tap a snack of that colour. It flies into Gobble’s mouth, he munches it up and says the colour back: “Red! Yummy!”
4. Tap a snack of the wrong colour and Gobble pulls a funny face and says its colour, like “That’s yellow!”. After two tries the right snack glows.
5. On the Big level Gobble asks colour mixing questions: “Mix blue and yellow. What do you get?” Feed him the answer and watch the two paint blobs swirl into green.
6. Each snack is 10 points, two right first time in a row earns 5 more, and five in a row makes Gobble burp!

What children practise

• Little: the four first colours (red, yellow, green and blue), matching a colour to its name with a coloured dot as a helper.
• Middle: ten colour names, adding orange, purple, pink, brown, white and black, and spotting a colour on all kinds of everyday foods.
• Big: how colours mix: red and yellow make orange, blue and yellow make green, red and blue make purple, and red and white make pink.
• All levels: listening carefully, learning from a mistake, and the names of foods like broccoli, blueberries and carrots.

Tips for parents

• Say the colours out loud together as Gobble eats: “Red strawberry! Yellow banana!”
• Go on a colour hunt in the kitchen afterwards. What else is red, yellow or green?
• Try the Big level’s mixes for real with paints or play dough: blue and yellow really do make green.
• Toddlers can play the Little level with no reading at all: there are only two snacks, and the colour is shown as a dot.
