About My First 100 Words
Small children can learn their first +100 words in several languages by playing this fun game. It starts displaying different emojis and plays an audio with the pronunciation in the selected language. Then they are verbally asked to find some emojis. It gets more challenging over time!
How to play My First 100 Words
The opening minute doubles as the tutorial. On desktop the arrow keys / WASD do the moving; the full mapping is in the table below. It is built tall rather than wide — comfortable one-handed on a phone, centred and uncropped on a monitor. If a round goes badly, restart — attempts are cheap and it is usually the fastest way to improve.
