Free app: FETCH! Lunch Rush by PBS Kids

Download a free FETCH! Lunch Rush app by PBS Kids. Here are the details on this app:

In case you hadn’t heard, Ruff Ruffman, canine host of the PBS KIDS TV series, FETCH! with Ruff Ruffman, is making a movie! Of course, he’s in over his head and he needs your help, like, yesterday.

In this Augmented Reality, multi-player game, you need to keep up with lunch orders from Ruff’s movie crew. The challenge is keeping track of how many pieces of sushi everyone wants.

ORDER UP!
Since the most important job on a movie crew is filling everyone’s belly, you’ll need to think fast and be quick on your feet to keep the sushi straight. Both your brain and body will be moving once you spread out the game pieces (Augmented Reality markers) and start taking orders. No sweat? See if you can make it all the way to Top Dog. Better yet, see if you can get there before your friends do.

NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION:
This game was funded by a grant from the Department of Education and is designed to supplement national standards for first and second grade math curricula.
