A favorite app of many pediatric OTs, Sam Phibian continues to be a staple in my own OT iPad tool kit.
Based on one of Apple's very first games, Sam Phibian has a very basic but fun concept. Kids really seem to love the game.
The premise is this: Sam Phibian tells you which bugs, and how many of them, he would like for his meal. It is the child's responsibility to pick those bugs -- and only those bugs -- as distractors like airplanes and underpants fly by. If the child picks too many items, Sam grows too big for his lily pad and the game is over.
This app is great for visual attention, horizontal tracking, and even cause and effect. And the best part? It's FREE! So hop on over to iTunes and add Sam Phibian to your OT app tool kit.
