A soundboard app displays numerous images and plays short sounds in response to the images being touched. They can be used to help kids improve their vocabulary or learn letters. My one year old son loves playing with a transportation themed soundboard app.
Details
Use App Inventor to create an app with multiple soundboards. When the app is first launched it should display a menu of two buttons with images that represent the two different types of soundboards. When the user clicks one of the buttons the appropriate sound board should be displayed. Note, displaying the soundboard can be accomplished by changing the Visible property of components between true and false.
Each soundboard should consist of two buttons with images. When the buttons are clicked the app should play a sound that corresponds to the image. Note, if another sound is already playing it should stop the playing sound before starting the new sound. The soundboard can be almost anything that kids could learn. Here are a few suggestions:
- Plays sounds of things like animals or vehicles.
- Plays someone speaking the name of something.
- Plays someone speaking the letters of the alphabet.
- Plays music of instruments.
