“U-Paint” is a sensory learning game that aims to provide students with sensory experiences. Up to six children can experience creative expression experiences by mixing different colors on a canvas, experimenting with ideas, interacting with each other and developing gross motor skills using their whole bodies. In this air-painting game, students let their creativity flow by spreading colors around and drawing in with their hands and arms in response to music. U-Paint is a great way to let out feelings, relax and help reduce stress. This game letter is also ideal for offering to young children letter and number identification activities.
The students can be represented as their own live images in the room or as avatars (stick-person-skeletons) within scenery of four different themes: night, forest, valley, and beach. If the teacher chooses the avatar representations, students can make the connection between their avatar and their own body and move in ways to control the avatar’s motions.
Up to six (6) players can participate simultaneously in this game that can lead to an increase in attention, self-regulation and higher rates of positive emotions. The teacher can also decide about the duration of the game-play as well as whether balloons with paint or numbers or letters will appear in the scenery which could be hit by children. Teachers using this game have reported that it is great to prevent a melt-down or impending tantrum. It is also used to release tension after testing or prior to a more difficult academic task.
