In this app children get to look after different animals with all sorts of ailments making them poorly. Children are given different scenes which show how the animal has been made sick and are then given options for treatment to make them better, which they must match with pictures at the top of the screen. A really great opportunity for parents and children to discuss how to keep healthy and how to get better if you feel sick, some good hints to get children wearing hats and sun cream! Also a great game for supporting empathy. Once the doctor's waiting room has been cleared more animals come in with different illnesses. Good for repetition for reinforcing children's learning.
Other notable themes and features of the app include Animals, Compassion, Going to the doctors, No narrative, Self care.
