Designing And Evaluating An Educational Video Game For Children: A Blend Of Learning And Fun

Abstract

This study, “Designing And Evaluating An Educational Video Game For Children: A Blend Of Learning And Fun”, aims to develop an interactive learning software product for children aged 3 to 7 based on game-based education. The main aim of this project is to bring fun and learn together by making a game that will educate the children in terms of relating alphabets, objects with numbers in an amusing way as well as it will improve their memory, attention and problem-solving ability. The game is programmed in Unity 3D and currently supported for Mobile(Android) as well as PC. Players will be able to choose a character and roam through four interactive scenes: (1) Alphabet Adventures where kids collect letters and avoid obstacles, (2) Word Wonders where items correspond with real world objects like “A for Airplane” and “B for Bus,” (3) Number Kingdom where they gather numbers while learning them and (4) Quiz Challenge where players can try to answer quiz challenges. Reasoning interactions include such features as sound effects, animations and scoring to ensure interactivity and motivation
