Three Chinese Learning Apps

Last year, 2nd grade students tried an app called 'Fun Chinese' on Ipads during April. This app functions properly and has five units. The first one 'color' is free and 2nd grade students played two games 'memory' and 'bubble' in this unit. They loved these games!

I also found the other two apps that can help student to learn Chinese at home. Here is the comparison of these three games. Please take a look at it and try them if you are interested. I would love to hear all of your opinions about them!
