Bubble Clock Time

iOS Universal

Intended Audience
Bubble Clock is an introduction for youngsters to learn to tell time using a clock face, minute and hour hand.

The Game
Bubble Clock Time provides an entertaining learning experience with colorful clocks, bubbles, and audio. With three levels, this app serves as the first introduction for youngsters learning to tell time. The first level does time one to twelve o'clock. Level 2 adds quarter and half time and level 3 does time for each 5 minute interval. The game begins with a graphical image of a clock showing a time such as three o'clock. Translucent bubbles containing random digital times float across the screen inviting your child to choose the bubble with the correct time such as 3:00. A pleasant voice instructs the youngster to "Select the time on the moving bubble that represents the time on the clocks". As the clock ticks, your youngster searches the floating bubbles to find the correct digital time. Once a few problems are completed, the scenario changes. For the next scenario, the digital time representation appears in the upper left corner and random clocks float across the screen. Your youngster selects the clock with the correct time. The third scenario gives an audio clip of the time phrase and the youngster selects the correct floating clock for the spoken time phrase without the hint of the digital time. For each scenario, your child is rewarded with a clock chime when the correct answer is chosen. Otherwise, the child is gently encouraged to try again. Each incorrect selection reduces the set of incorrect times, eventually leaving only the correct time.
