About Fishing
Oomi sits in a little boat with a fishing rod, and fish of different shapes and colors swim back and forth below. The card at the top shows which fish to catch. The hook brings up the first thing it touches, so good timing matters, and anything not on the card goes back into the water.
How to play
- Drag sideways on the water or tap the arrows to move the boat.
- Tap the water or the hook button to drop the hook.
- On a computer, hold the arrow keys to sail and press the space bar to fish.
What your child practices
- Matching by color and shape
- Timing and patience
- Counting catches
