The game Chomp Chomp contributes to vocabulary expansion, reading, hypothesis formation related to written language, and attention and concentration skills.
The aim is for students to help their friend Chomp Chomp (the character the game is named after) form words using sweet treats from a shop. In the game, Chomp Chomp is hungry and places an order. What he likes to eat most are the little letters on top of the sweet snacks. Students face the challenge of building the words Chomp Chomp requested using the sweet treats that represent letters of the alphabet. They must be quick so as not to leave him waiting and hungry!
The game can be played by 1 to 5 players collaboratively. On the home screen, the “Menu” button provides access to music, sound effects, and time settings. There, you can also find game information and instructions on how to play. The game has three levels:
This playful game contributes to the development of syllabic hypotheses with sound value, considering both vowel and consonant sounds, phonological awareness, grapheme–phoneme relationships, vocabulary expansion, and reading. It also helps develop students’ argumentation skills, supports their ability to effectively express what they know and think, and fosters persistence. It is important that the educator understands the specific features of each level of the game in order to provide every student with an experience appropriate to their level of knowledge.
