Fish Tracker: an attention game for kids

A few fish glow for a moment, then all the fish look the same and swim around. Your child keeps their eyes on the glowing ones and taps them when the fish stop.

This trains divided and sustained attention — following several moving things at once, like teammates in a ball game or cars at a crossing.

Levels go from 1 fish to follow among 4 up to 5 among 12. Swimming lasts 3 to 8 seconds, the fish get faster, and from level 11 they make sudden turns.

How to play

1. Some fish wear a ⭐ — remember them!
2. The stars vanish and all the fish swim around.
3. Follow your fish with your eyes.
4. When they stop, tap your fish!

Why it helps

• Practises following several things at once
• Trains sustained attention
• Builds visual tracking
• Adapts the number of fish to your child

Based on the multiple-object tracking task from attention research. Grown-ups can see “Fish tracked at once” and “⭐ fish found”.
