Futaba Classroom Games is the only multi-player game of its kind on the iTunes App Store!  

Up to 4 students can cooperatively learn using just one iPad.  Each child takes a seat around the iPad and taps in to start. The game begins as images and questions spin into the playing area. The first player to answer correctly scores a point. Win 3 rounds and earn a Futaba (a small ‘seedling’).

Futaba also includes a single player practice mode - a great way to study at home or in the classroom (see our screenshots below).

NEW - Futaba Cloud Service - it's now easier than ever to create and share games with other iPads in your classroom.

Editors’ Notes

Embracing children's love of competition, INKids’ friendly app will have them racing to answer multiple-choice questions on animals, math, shapes, and dozens of other topics. Designed for kids ages 4 through 10, it lets up to four students play at once on the same iPad—making it a delightful classroom activity for groups or individuals. Teachers can set up custom games with specific subjects and even create their own questions to reinforce their current lesson plan.

They love it! ,

Great!

My favorite times in the classroom are when the kids are playing a game to learn or practice a skill. In these times, I am not the linchpin keeping them engaged, the game is! This game has afforded us many of such moments! One thing that makes this game great is that the teacher can customize it with our own content. I'd give it 5 stars but, I haven't been able to find/access the thousands of game sets I'm sure other teachers have made.

Love it!

I was looking for an alternative to a smart table. I needed something that did not take up as much space or have such a hefty price tag. My needs were answered when I discovered the Futaba App! I am a preschool teacher and I was not sure my 4-year olds would be able to utilize the preset games especially at the beginning of the school year. First, I was thrilled to discover how easy it is to create my own games with pictures or text. Seriously, I created three games to reinforce letters, numbers, and even classmate names in less than 20 minutes! Second, I was pleasantly surprised that I could turn questions on and off in the preset games to adjust to what my students were currently learning. I tell every teacher I see about the beauty and flexibility of this app. For those teaching higher grades, games exist for math facts, sight words, states, presidents, etc. This is the perfect app for some friendly competition in your classroom!
