Bo's Dinnertime Story for Android

My little one likes apps about food. This app is great because it asks her to follow directions: put groceries in the cart, put them away in the right spot, put the right items in the pot, etc. Nice app!

This is an app that has applicability for both regularly developing children and those with special needs. It teaches children how to prepare a meal from shopping for the needed ingredients all the way through cleaning up after dinner. This app also teaches following directions. It could be improved by allowing more interactivity. Overall, a great app that I would definitely recommend.

This app is great for learning and reinforcing the dinner time routine. It goes through the steps of buying food, preparing, eating and clean up with fun activities that wok on different skills such as, matching, putting together a puzzle and following two-step directions.

In general it is a nice app for the price. I like that it's in a story format. It's brief enough to hold my students attention. It's bright, cheerful and engaging. Any longer and I think that they wouldn't be as motivated to go through the entire sequence. I think that it is a good learning app. It definately focuses on the type of functional vocabulary that is beneficial for my students and would be beneficial for younger children as well.

I introduced my preschoolers to Bo's Dinnertime this week. My students and I have really been enjoying Bo's Dinnertime! Bo is adorable, and the app is set up to make the child successful- The narrator gives clear verbal instructions on what to do, followed by a visual cue- for example the objects will flash to show what the child should touch. Re: a previous reviewer's comment- I actually like that the child can't start the task until the narrator has finished talking- this way the child has to focus on the verbal instructions; perhaps this is something the dev could address through a settings option though. I like that Bo's Dinnertime breaks down an activity (dinnertime) into a sequence of events, and has the child go through the sequence from start to finish. The kids have discovered the radio in the dinner scenes turns on- it actually plays a Bo song, very sweet! I'd love to see some options for more food, colors of plates, or size of plates to work on more skills. I am also wondering why chicken gets stored in a drawer and not the fridge, but the kids are thoroughly enjoying this app as it is. I look forward to more sequencing apps featuring Bo in the near future!
