Abstract
´Crazipes´ is one of the prototype games within SMAALL, a multi-language and multi-purpose games project for young kids of age 3-5 years. The main goal of SMAALL is to expose young learners in multipurpose and multi-module games. In the prototype of Crazipes, the game is designed to teach four different languages and math within a frame of cooking, using mainly visual images and animation. In this paper we introduce the main philosophy and design concept for the prototype.
