WHATS NEW
Dress Up Chapter
Our much beloved Dress Up Chapter has been transformed into a fun world for kids to collect treasures and customize their very own avatar!
We have had tons of great feedback on this new addition and we hope your child enjoys collecting clothes and accessories with the points they earn!
Best of all, our designers are working hard to add new clothes and accessories from around the world in the near future! Have an idea of something you'd like to see represented? Send us an email with your thoughts!
Languages Offered
With a high standard for the content that we offer, we have chosen to scale back on offering Gujarati and Punjabi, but don't worry, this is only temporary!
Shoonya Kids 5.0 still offers 5 languages and we are working around the clock to bring quality content in more languages within the year.
If you don't see a language you'd like for your child to learn please reach out and let us know directly—we are working hard to have robust, effective content in many world languages for kids to learn at their own pace!
F.A.Q.
What is a chapter?
Shoonya Kids uses theme-based, bite-sized "chapters" to expose children to the foundations of language learning. Chapters help children to learn pronunciation, reading alphabets, and the first 500 words of a new language all while practicing their fine motor skills. Each chapter is aligned with the World-Readiness Standards for Learning Languages and exposes children to the sounds and alphabets of world languages alongside art that is representative of cultures from around the world.
What do the purple stars do?
There are hundreds of stars to earn while you learn! Every purple star you see while you're playing in Shoonya Kids is a star you can earn and then use in the Rewards Center to unlock clothing, accessories, and shoes from around the world!
How can my child earn stars?
Earning stars is easy and fun! Shoonya Kids was inspired by Montessori-based learning and we want children to explore and learn at their own pace. Because exploration is so fundamental to the learning process, we made it possible for children to earn rewards and a sense of accomplishment just by exploring the app. A child can earn stars by exploring a chapter and finding activities that have a star on them!
How can my child use their stars?
One of the hallmarks of Shoonya Kids is the rich cultural representation brought to the screen by our very talented designers and animators. Children can use their stars in the Rewards Center to unlock clothing styles from around the world, accessories, shoes, and more!
What is the Rewards Center?
The Rewards Center is a newly designed space for kids to play and unlock clothing from around the world to customize dozens of avatars. We created this space as a place to explore, collect, and learn. As children collect new items, they are also learning the names and pronunciation of clothing that is representative of cultures from around the world!
Why are items grey in the Rewards Center?
If an item is grey in the rewards center, it just means that your child has not unlocked it yet! Children use stars to unlock items in the Rewards Center and collect clothing from around the world. Simply play in the app to earn stars and come back to the Rewards Center to choose from hundreds of accessories, shoes, and clothes to unlock!
What happens when my child acquires an item? Where does it go?
When an item is unlocked using a purple star in the Rewards Center, the item is free to use and will appear in the treasure box where all unlocked items are stored.
How can my child change their avatar?
Your child's avatar can be easily changed in the child profile. From the home scree, click on the child profile icon on the navigation bar to choose from dozens of avatars meant to represent different age groups and people from around the world.
I've earned all my stars, what now?
Good for you! We hope you have fun unlocking treasures in the Rewards Center with all the stars you've collected! And don't worry, there are more stars where those came from! We are constantly working on bringing new content and challenging games to Shoonya Kids and with new challenges come new ways to earn stars! Keep checking back daily for updates.
