Fun Faithful Flash Cards Module 1 of 5 : Included in the app At the core of the Catholic Words & Games app are over 65 colorful flash cards of liturgical vessels, vestments and other Catholic objects and sacramentals created just for this app. In addition to the Catholic Flash Cards module, enjoy 4 fun learning games to further reinforce the vocabulary words: All this is included in the Catholic Words & Games app—no InApp purchases—there is nothing else to buy or unlock.
No distracting banner ads and no annoying pop-up ads either! It really is five apps in one. • MEMORY MATCH The flash card deck is fully customizable—pick and choose which cards to include in the deck to tailor for little ones just starting their faith journey. Save multiple card groups for later use. Other settings allow you to turn the voiceover, music, sound effects and looping on or off. The cards can appear in random or alphabetical order. You can even choose to have the names displayed in ALL CAPS, all lower case or Mixed Case. Select among six different play modes. Advance the flash cards by swiping or select the slideshow feature where you determine the time interval between images. Hear the name of the objects properly pronounced by a professional voice-over artist. Tap the dictionary icon for a glossary entry with a real-world picture of the item. • NAME MATCH • SPELL IT • TAP IT

Catholic Memory Match Module 2 of 5 : Included in the app First, select the number of cards to be used in the game—4, 8, 16, 24, 36 or 48. Next, decide whether you want to play against the clock, aim for accuracy or compete against friends. Then, let the game begin! Like the popular game of Concentration on which it is based, the object of Catholic Memory Match is to turn over matching pairs of cards. Tap the screen to flip a card. As the card flips, the object’s name is heard and displayed at the bottom of the screen. Tap another and a whimsical animation will let you know you’ve matched a pair. Special Show All and Show Revealed cards add a new level of fun. When all pairs are matched, enter your high score on the leaderboard. A musical score composed just for this game will keep your toes tapping! The audio, images and text strengthens reading, listening and word recognition skills. An addictive way for the entire family—or classroom—to learn new Catholic words!

Catholic Spell It Module 3 of 5 : Included in app An image appears of one of the Catholic Flash Card objects. Below it are letter tiles. Tap the tiles in the right order to spell the object’s name. Additional letters that aren’t part of the word make the game more challenging. If you need help, the Bomb Button removes an unnecessary letter. Still stumped? Press the Speaker Button to hear the word pronounced or tap the Add Letter Button to have the next letter automatically placed. Disable these buttons to make the game more difficult. The game tests memory recall and improves written communication through spelling practice. Sure, you know what an aspergillum is, but do you know how to spell it? Find out by playing Catholic Spell It!

Catholic Name Match Module 4 of 5 : Included in app Ten button names appear in the Word Bin at the top of the screen. A matrix of ten objects appear below. Drag each name down towards the correct picture. Hear the name of the object as you drag it downward. If you’re right, the name snaps into place and congratulatory music plays. Otherwise the word returns to the bin so you can try again. Race the clock or aim for accuracy! Improves hand-eye coordination and enhances vocabulary by further reinforcing the name of the object with its visual representation. Is that a cruet or a crotalus? The answer is just a tap away in Catholic Name Match!

Catholic Tap It Module 5 of 5 : Included in app Find out by playing Catholic Tap It! Hear the name of one of the objects then tap the right picture among many others. See how many you get correct before time runs out. Choose how many images to include in the Catholic Tap It game to make it easier for little ones or more challenging for older children and adults. You can optionally display the word instead of (or in addition to) hearing it’s name. Helps teach word association and image recognition. Where oh where is my aspergillum?
