Echo Zoo

Echo Zoo is a listening and memory game for kids. A band of zoo animals sits on bright drums on a round bandstand, and each animal sings one note: the big elephant sings a low C, then the lion D, the penguin E, the frog G, the parrot A and the tiny mouse a high C. The band plays a short tune, then it is your turn: tap the animals in the same order to sing it back. Every tune you echo comes back with one more note.

The show has four acts. Act 1 starts with three animals and two-note tunes, and a new animal joins the band in every act until all six are playing. Three balloons are your tries: tap the wrong animal and one pops, then the band plays the tune again so you can listen once more. Echo every tune of an act without popping a balloon for a perfect act. Everyone gets the same tunes each day.

Free play turns the bandstand into an instrument: tap the animals to make your own song, then press Play my song to hear the band play it back. There is no score in free play.

Play with a finger (tap the animals), a mouse (click them), or the keyboard (number keys 1 to 6, or the arrow keys and Space). Each drum shows its note letter and its key, so kids learn the note names and hear that big animals sing low and small ones sing high.
