My First 100 Words

How to play My First 100 Words

Objective

Find the picture for each word the game asks about, in the order the words were introduced, to finish the level, then carry on through 31 levels of new words.

Controls

Desktop

• Mouse click on a language button: choose English, Español, Français or Norsk at the start
• Mouse click on a picture: answer the current “Where is the …?” question
• Restart Game button: begin again at level 1 in the same language after a wrong answer

Mobile

• Tap a language button: pick the language; the four buttons wrap onto two lines
• Tap a picture: answer the question; held upright, the twelve pictures sit four to a row

Getting started

1. Pick a language on the “Select your language” screen: English, Español, Français or Norsk.
2. Watch the pictures that follow; each one shows its name, like “A chick” or “A mushroom”, with a speaker button beside it.
3. When a question such as “Where is the chick?” appears, click that picture among the twelve on screen.
4. Answer each question in turn until the counter reaches zero and the “Level 1 of 31 completed!” card appears.
5. If a wrong picture is chosen, the right one glows green; press Restart Game to try again without picking the language a second time.

Tips

• Questions come in the same order the words were introduced, so pointing at each picture as its name appears gives a child a head start.
• One wrong picture ends the run at once, so encourage a child to look over all twelve pictures before tapping.
• Children who cannot read yet can use the speaker button beside each question, which is there to say the word aloud.
• The English set uses British words, such as aubergine for eggplant and bin for trash can, which is worth explaining to American children.
• There is no countdown on the question screen, so let a child take as long as needed and talk about each picture before choosing.
