LEAP (Listen – LEArn – Play) is a series of three basic computer games designed for students with visual impairments and blindness. These free games introduce students to using only a few basic keys and how to navigate with two- and three-dimensional sound.
Looking for simple games that will prepare your students for using more complex applications such as scientific graphing calculators? Try these simple and fun LEAP games!
The games work on PCs and Apple computers. Stereo headphones are recommended.
Play Tic-Tac-Toe against your computer!
Your helpers, Elektra or Thodoris, guide you with their voices through the menu by pressing Q or W.
Grab your racket and jump on the tennis court!
Your opponent hits the ball and you try to return it. You and your opponent’s skills will improve as you advance through the levels. Play with the left and right keys and press Enter to call on your assistant, Electra or Thodoris.
Listen to musical Mathematical function! Each function corresponds to a different set of notes. You have a limited time to learn and reproduce these notes! Move with the arrow keys and listen carefully to the blank key and the zero key.
