On Sale!
Your favorite spelling game with a creative twist! Play hangman by yourself or with a friend. Draw pictures that animate and playback. Then, record digital stories with your winning words. No in-app purchases or data required after download.
The illustrations are multicultural and allow all kids to feel included. The letter-tracing feature is a great way to practice penmanship and letter recognition. It’s great for older kids too, giving them the freedom to draw and create stories as well. HangArt is perfect for individual play, entire family fun, and the classroom. As seen in The New York Times’ "10 Children's Apps for Summer Road Trips."
"Culturally diverse drawings and a specially constructed, easy-to-read font welcome kids from a variety of backgrounds and abilities. A jewel of a game … HangArt is a fun challenge, and the open-ended drawing board and storytelling sections let kids take the lead.” ~ Common Sense Media
