Special Needs App of the Day: Marble Mixer

This app offers three games, all modern twists on the classic way to play marbles. Marble Mixer is a fun and effective way to introduce children to game playing and strategy. In the Monster Picnic game, players must flick marbles into the monster’s mouth while knocking other players’ marbles out of the way. In Space Mania, the goal is to remove your opponents’ marbles from the board by knocking them into the black hole at the center. Table Tactics requires skill in shooting marbles to high point spots on the board.

Up to four people can play, or children can play against the computer or simply against themselves. Marble Mixer develops fine motor skills and can be used to build social skills if playing with others.

Available on iPad for $1.99.
