SwitchIt! People Extra / About
We learn all about how the nurse, lollipop lady, supermarket checkout assistant, the police force and others carry out their work.
There are 12 stories, 13 pictures to build and 30 computer ‘flash cards’, all on the 'people' theme.
SwitchIt! People Extra Flash Cards
‘Flash Cards’ are single images taken from the program’s theme. They appear on screen in response to switch presses, with an additional press to hear the accompanying text spoken.
SwitchIt! People Extra Picture Builds
‘Picture Builds’ create composite pictures piece by piece, in response to switch presses. You can vary the number of presses required in order to build the complete picture. When it is complete, the user is rewarded by lots of exciting animation and sound.
SwitchIt! People Extra Stories
‘Stories’ are stepped, animated sequences that are revealed in response to switch presses. There are four-second pauses between each step, to encourage students to watch and understand the unfolding story. You can use these to discuss what the characters are doing and why.
