Game
Spot the Difference
Two pictures from Yang Yang's adventures, and some sneaky changes. Can your super eyes find them all?
- 10 pictures from all four books
- 3 levels: Little Hero, Big Hero and Super Hero
- Hints when you get stuck, and stars to collect
Good for: Careful looking and attention to detail. Comparing two pictures builds visual discrimination, the same skill children use to tell letters and numbers apart. It also grows concentration and patience, and gives you lots to talk about together: colours, animals and what has changed.

Game
Where's Yang Yang?
Yang Yang, his family and Xing Xing are hiding in busy pictures. Can you find them all?
- 12 busy pictures to search
- 3 levels: Little Hero, Big Hero and Super Hero
- Characters peeking out from behind the crowd
Good for: Focus, scanning and patience. Searching a busy picture trains children to scan in an organised way and to stay focused among distractions. Each scene is a doorway to Chinese culture, from festivals and markets to lanterns and dragon dances, and every find is a small win for perseverance.

Game
Memory Match
Flip the cards and find the matching pairs of Yang Yang, his family and friends.
- Cards of Yang Yang, Xing Xing, Ba Ba, Ma Ma and more
- 3 levels: 4, 6 or 8 pairs to find
- Fewer moves means more stars
Good for: Memory and concentration. Remembering where each card is exercises working memory, which supports reading, maths and following instructions. Children also learn the names of the Super Yang Yang family (Ba Ba, Ma Ma, Nai Nai and Di Di), and it's a lovely game to take turns at together.

Jigsaw Puzzle
Tap a piece, then tap where it goes. Put Yang Yang's adventures back together, piece by piece!
- 12 pictures from all four books
- 3 levels: 12, 20 or 30 pieces
- Peek and hint buttons, and stars to collect
Good for: Problem solving and spatial thinking. Fitting shapes together builds spatial reasoning and visual memory, early foundations for maths and geometry. Picking up and placing pieces trains hand-eye coordination, and finishing a whole picture teaches planning and persistence. It's a lovely one to do side by side, talking about the story as the picture appears.
