A quick-fire number recognition/pronunciation computer game
 
I find my students really struggle with saying/thinking numbers, especially getting into the hundreds and thousands.

I�m thinking of perhaps a space-invaders style game where the student has to practice identifying numbers quickly. Maybe along the lines of "stress monsters" in the OUP English File on-line practice. A pronunciation element would be very helpful (a guide response for incorrect answers).


Has anybody come across such a computer game?

Does anyone have the programing skills/contacts to develop it?

http://www.gamequarium.com has loads of games, they might have what you are looking for... I used to use a lot of their games for English and Math on the interactive whiteboard when I was a classroom teacher.. I have not been there for a couple of years now but I immediately thought of their site when you said you wanted a numbers game...

Have a browse there, they just might have something!

EDIT:... hmmmmm they seem to be different from when I remember them.. maybe you have to be a member to see everything now.... it used to be a fab site.... now I don´t know....
