From a teacher's perspective Doodle Buddy is more than fun! I could think of a number of worthwhile activities to use the app in education. Here are 10:
1. Students practice writing addition and subtraction stories.
2. Students practice following directions (either verbal or written).
3. Labeling the parts of a plant. This could be a blank water cycle, life cycle, body systems, etc...
4. Use Hangman feature to practice spelling words.
5. Creating/Identifying Growing Patterns
6. Sight word Bingo - Or numbers, or addition, or anything else you want to do!
7. Practice Writing descriptions using complete sentences. They could also write facts and opinions and use different colors for each.
8. Practicing Prepositions. You could also take a picture and have the kids write ADJECTIVES to describe it.
9. Vocabulary Pictionary- Doesn't that sound fun?
10. Let students show their thinking on word problems.
