Weekly Creation Theme: Mother’s Day
This week, create a TinyTap game inspired by the theme “Mother’s Day.” Your game can be about anything: an interactive greeting card for your mom; a digital coupon packet for breakfast in bed, massages, and cleaning your room; a soundboard with all the things you love and appreciate about your mom; a montage of family photos… take the theme in whatever direction suits you!
Pro tip: make your Mother’s Day game more personal by using your own family photos! Just import them from the device on which you’re creating.
Be sure to save your game publicly and write the theme #MothersDay in the game description or title so that the rest of the TinyTap community can play and get inspired by your creation!
The theme “Mother’s Day” is part of TinyTap’s weekly series featuring designated topics.
Weekly Creation Theme: Dinosaurs
This week, create a TinyTap game inspired by the theme “Dinosaurs.” Your game can be about anything: a lesson on extinction; a spelling game (c’mon, spelling “Micropachycephalosaurus” isn’t easy!); a categorization game about carnivores, herbivores, and omnivores; a matching game between species and fossils; an interactive guide to your local city’s museum of natural history … take the theme in whatever direction suits you!
Pro tip: If you want to insert an image of a dinosaur from the web, try tacking “png” onto your image search for higher resolution results, often times with transparent or white backgrounds (that you can remove).
Be sure to save your game publicly and write the theme #Dinosaurs in the game description or title so that the rest of the TinyTap community can play and get inspired by your creation!

Weekly Creation Theme: Earth Day
This week, create a TinyTap game inspired by the theme “Earth Day.” Your game can be about anything: a lesson on pollution or environmental legislation; a quiz about which waste items can be recycled and composted; a soundboard of a house with tips for conserving energy (e.g. tap on the window and see a tip about closing windows while using air conditioning, or opening blinds to use daylight instead of artificial light) … take the theme in whatever direction suits you!
Pro tip: Engage your students by flipping the class and having them research and create their own TinyTap games about Earth Day! You can then let the students play each others’ games or even use them in Earth Day activities for younger grades at your school.
Be sure to save your game publicly and write the theme #EarthDay in the game description or title so that the rest of the TinyTap community can play and get inspired by your creation!
Weekly Creation Theme: April Showers
“April showers bring May flowers”
This week, create a TinyTap game inspired by the theme “April Showers.” Your game can be about anything: a lesson on precipitation; a children’s story about rainy day adventures; a math game using rain drops as units to add or subtract; a soundboard with the images and names of Spring blossoms; a jigsaw puzzle with pieces in the shapes of umbrellas, clouds, and puddles … take the theme in whatever direction suits you!
Pro tip: get extra creative and use a separate device (like your phone) to play rain sound effects as background audio in your recordings!
Be sure to save your game publicly and write the theme #AprilShowers in the game description or title so that the rest of the TinyTap community can play and get inspired by your creation!
