Sometimes the children play games on my phone. And that's okay with me as long as the phone is on flight mode (past experience taught me that! "NOOOO! Not the Pay button!!!!!"). I only have 3 games on my phone and a colouring app.
The games I have:
1. 'Tap the Frog' - great fun, good for hand/eye coordination.
2. 'Fish farts' - it has a "gas" concept (goofy pun, sorry. The Irish meaning of the word GAS is "hilarious/funny"), good for hand/eye coordination, makes certain noises as you catch the fish...
3. 'Cut the Rope' - this is a bit more advanced. The better you do, the more challenges you unlock. My almost 3 year old loves this game. This is more about planning and completing tasks, good game for adults and children.
The games are good but hard for two to share, they can't really share the screen at the same time, they often try and end up having screaming matches instead... So last night before bed, little miss T and I taught little master J how to play noughts and crosses (or X's & O's, as some prefer to call it) on the colouring app. They both loved it. For the most part.
One little person is such a sore loser and sulks in their bedroom whenever they lose. The other little one does what we suggest, in saying "Well done!" to the winner, giving a high five and seems really happy about it, doesn't mind losing. This realllllllly winds up the sulky little person. We have the same conversations each time - even reminding them not to gloat/boast when winning while they gloat! The same conversations. Sigh.
Hopefully they'll figure it out soon. Still, it amuses me how different they are!
