Power Arrow

Here is a bow and arrow game that is more for kids. My two children love this and it has become a family competition game. The idea is to pull back the arrow and as the screen scrolls to the right, you need to let the arrow go in time to hit the target in the middle. The closer to the bullseye the more points you receive. This will cost you $0.99.

AirportMania: First Flight

I started with the lite version and my son and I loved it so much I paid the $1.99 for the full version. You are in charge of landing planes and have it unload at the correct color gate. Some planes will need to refuel while others need repair. You can add extra gates, extra runways and others. You can repaint planes, serve food or show a movie. The object is to be fast and keep the planes happy. The faster you are, the more money you receive, the more upgrades you can do. This game looks childish but will keep you on your toes.

10 PinShuffle

This app comes both free or for $3.99. The Lite or free version is only the 10 Pin Poker game. Every strike gives you two cards, every spare gives you one card. Whoever has the best hand out of 10 frames wins. When you upgrade, which I had to because I enjoyed it so much, you get regular bowling and shuffle board too. We play this as a family many times a week. Both for the ipad and itouch.

Dizzypad HD

Are you a fan of Pocket Frogs? If so you will be excited to have Dizzypad HD. This free app has one game to play for free. You would need to upgrade for the other three. The Dizzypad game has one frog on a spinning lillypad. You need to jump the frog at the right time to land on the next lillypad. If you miss, you lose a flower, if you can jump past a lillypad, you can earn a flower.

Mad Libs (Free)

This free app has many great reviews. Just like the books your probably used...you need to fill in the blanks with the necesary parts of speech. There are also many bad reviews on this app because there are only a few different stories to do. If you want more stories...there is a $3.99 charge.

Spin Art

Do you remember when we had a spinning table and paint...and as the table was spinning, you would let one drop of paint fall on your page and it would make a nice splatter design (and also a big mess)? Well, this is the same art project without the mess and it's FREE. First, tap the star and pick new. There are 6 free shapes for you to pick from. Once you have selected one, click next and you can select what color paper. Next, click on the arrow button and spin your page with your finger. Now that it is spinning, click on the paint brush and paint away. The color my daughter loves the most is the rainbow on the far right. Make sure you try using glitter too. When you are finished, click on the star again to save your project.
