"Working on spelling and looking for an engaging app the whole family can play? Make it one that prioritizes diversity! HangArt is a great app to add to a family, school, library or museum collection." ~ Technology in Early Childhood Center, Erikson Institute.
"Rich in bite-size bits of interaction ... Brings the age-old game of hangman to your road trip, using words straight out of a school reading curriculum. The two-player mode can promote cooperative play." ~ The New York Times

HangArt is an inclusive K-3 literacy game, created with educators. It combines an innovative sight words spelling game with opportunities for kids to draw & create digital stories.

In HangArt, children practice 200 K-3 spelling sight words in a three-part literacy playground: Play Hangman, Word Gallery, and Story Studio
PLAY HANGMAN
A family and classroom friendly word game. Say goodbye to the violent, macabre image of a man on a noose that has long been associated with the hangman game. Our "hangman" is a friendly guy who hangs from a monkey bar. In our fill-in-the-blank word-guessing game, each correct letter guess is rewarded with the reveal of part of an illustration of the missing word. When you lose a word, our "hanging man" falls off the monkey bar. When you win a word, you are rewarded with a complete original illustration of that word. Our original drawings celebrate the diversity and many are inspired by art, culture, and history!
WORD GALLERY
Children draw their own pictures of the words they win using our custom drawing tool. They can also watch video playbacks of the original illustrations in the app, created by illustrator Kavita Ramchandran.
STORY STUDIO
Children record, save, and playback digital, animated stories using their winning words!
