I first discovered pySioGame in the first half of 2012, and aven though it was in a beta state, I almost fell in love with it immediately. pySioGame is essentially a set of educational activities and games for kids.
pySioGame was initially developed by its author, Ireneusz Imiolek, for his son, but he soon decided to make it Free Software. And I’m glad that he did, because it’s a very cute application.
Even though, in it’s author’s own words, It’s hard to put age range on this, it is targeted to children as young as 3 years old, and can be used up to about 10 years old. The activities included, many of which are grid based, include topics like maths, reading, writing, painting, and memory activities, among others.
I was finally able to upload pySioGame to Debian during the DebConf, and has very recently hit the archive. I’m convinced that pySioGame is going to be one of the references among the programs for small kids in the archive, among titles such as GCompris, ChildsPlay, PySyCache, or Bouncy. Or, even though it’s not in the archives, Omnitux.
Finally, to whet your appetite, here is the link to a video, and there go some screenshots:
