Pictureka!

Pictureka! is a category game.  The player is asked to find items within a certain category.   The first level requires the player to find an insect and a spider.   The player is shown several items and just needs to touch the screen when the items are found.   It is however, a timed game, which may prove to be frustrating for some.  At times, the categories are a bit obtuse.  Dinosaur bones are found in the animal category.  The music is catchy and the graphics are cartoon-like.  This is a good learning tool for the ESL student and can prove to be a challenging game for all.

• Pros:  fun way to learn categories, graphics look great on the ipad
• Cons: timer cannot be turned off, can be frustrating
• Price: $4.99 (occasionally goes on sale)
