About Big and Small
Hens sit in their nests with capital letters on them, and eggs below hatch into chicks with small letters. Your child brings every chick to the hen with the same letter, by dragging it or by tapping the chick and then the nest. A chick at the wrong nest just hops back.
How to play
- Look at the small letter on each chick.
- Drag a chick to its hen, or tap the chick and then the nest.
- On a keyboard, move with the arrow keys and press Space to pick and drop.
What your child practices
- Capital and small letters
- Letter recognition
