Special prize: APP: Tafiti (Loewe Verlag), iOS, Android

Here’s what the educators say: “Tafiti” quickly won over the little players—after all, who wouldn’t want to organize a great birthday party? The children quickly got to work with great enthusiasm, baking a wonderful birthday cake with Grandma and Grandpa. With a memory game—which works great even when played by several children at once—they invited lots of friends, searched Mr. Gogo’s house for presents, and helped the elephant choir rehearse the birthday song. Every now and then, they’d stop to check and discuss what else needed to be prepared.
Overall, the app is quite easy to use and can be operated independently by children. The instructions are also easy to understand, and if something goes wrong, the young players are encouraged to try again. The games stimulate different senses and challenge various thought processes. The app can also be played by two or three people, offering a variety of fun for the whole family.
