Bugs with legs and spots go splat! Phew! What a pong!

Corky has let some of the bugs escape to the swarm. Your task is to help him retrieve the right bugs. The label on the jar helps you work out which bugs are needed to make this special perfume. Tap in front of the bugs to be re-captured and Corky will spit out his sticky tongue.

Performing basic addition and subtraction calculations quickly and with ease develops confidence when dealing with mathematical situations in daily life. Seeing small sets of numbers represented pictorially, in groups and in varying combinations helps children to visualise and internalise basic operations.

In Jar Wars the player mentally combines and separates sets of numbers that are visually represented and performs basic addition and subtraction calculations.

Created for and with kids. Tested by kids. Approved by teachers and educators around the world.

Suitable for grandparents, parents and kids or just about anyone.

It’s a fun, wonderful, educational and engaging resource for home and school.

Recommendations:

This is definitely a thinking game and not a high-speed shooter. Not only do you have to add and subtract 2 sets of numbers you also have allow for the different speeds of the flying bugs and the speed of the tongue. But practice does help and I still think it’s fun even though I’ve played it loads of times. Great game – thanks a bunch. James.
