A short guide for parents, tutors, and therapists · pranav-calm-games.pages.dev
This one sits outside the journey and is always open, at the top of the games list. It is meant to be done a little every day rather than finished once. Levels rise on their own as he practises; you can nudge them up or down inside the app under Grown-ups.
| Mode | What it builds |
|---|---|
| 🗣️ Repeat After Me | 60 sentences over 6 levels — from “I want water” up to two-sentence narration. Levels up every 12 sentences. |
| 💬 Talk With Me | 10 real day-to-day conversations with proper turn-taking — the shop, a guest arriving, feeling unwell, the phone, bedtime. |
| 🖊️ Clear Speech | Bite-block articulation drill. Each line is said with the block, then again without, so he hears his own clarity improve. |
| 🕉️ Om Chanting | Long sustained phonation for breath support and voice control. The microphone measures how long he holds it; the target grows 3s → 15s. |
Where did Word Builder go? The vocabulary work moved to Zim Zam Crew, which teaches each word much more deeply (what group it belongs to, what it does, its parts, where you find it) and brings words back on a review schedule. Two competing versions of the same lesson would only teach him to pick the easier one.
Microphone: optional, and it only detects that he is making sound and for how long — it never checks whether the words were correct, so it can never tell him he is wrong. If you decline the permission, everything still works with the “I said it ⭐” button.
| Game | What it builds |
|---|---|
| 💪 Power Reset new | Heavy-work regulation — wall pushes, chair push-ups, bear walks. This is his OT programme as a game, and it settles his body far better than sitting still. Use it to start a session or any time he is wound up. |
| 🎤 Chant Club new | Call-and-response chants with built-in pauses — turtle-talk pacing that feels like a song, not therapy. Some chants teach his Grade-4 science (gravity, friction, sound) with a beat. |
| ✨ Calm Jar | Sensory soothing. No goal — just watch the glitter settle. |
| ✏️ Trace & Glow | Hand strength & pre-writing control (helps handwriting) — now with object outlines and a “Finish It” mode where he completes the missing part of a picture. The one game that physically cannot be rushed. |
| 🧺 Pinch & Sort | Pincer grip + sorting into categories — now climbing to abstract sets like alive / not alive, the “what goes together” thinking his assessment flagged. |
| 📖 Story Order | Cause-and-effect stories at his real grade level (rain cycle, a healing cut, a cricket run). He places the cards freely, checks his own work, hears the story in his order — and then answers one “why does this come before that?” question. |
| 🖼️ Picture Words | Reading & matching words to pictures — now with a look-then-confirm step so quick guessing doesn't work. |
| 🧩 Build a Sentence | Grade-4 sentences where some words are extras he must leave out — direct practice at keeping answers on-topic, his most-repeated difficulty. |
| 🤸 Copy Me Moves | Body movement for muscle tone, core & balance — now weighted towards the heavy-work moves his OT prescribes. Gets him off the chair. |
| 💛 Feelings Faces | Naming feelings + calm-down ideas for big emotions — with the same look-then-confirm step. |
Three games sit below the journey and are always open: 🫧 Breathing Bubble, 🧠 Memory Match and 🔍 What Changed?. They no longer block the journey. Memory Match has been upgraded: instead of finding identical cards, he now pairs things that belong together (a wheel with a car, an apple with a banana) and hears why — so it quietly trains the part-and-whole thinking his assessment flagged, not the memory that is already a strength.
The journey games open one at a time: each unlocks when the game before it is finished, and finished games get a ⭐. The order goes strong → chant → calm → hands → thinking → words → moving → feelings.
If he gets stuck on one game, don't let it become a wall. Use these:
