When creating a strong idea for a child's game, you have to consider the basics of any children friendly Flash game. It needs colour, simplicity and an idea which will make a child think naturally with no stress intended. I came up with an idea called 'Tui Says' which is just like 'Simon' but with musical instruments involved instead of beeping sounds. I want children to understand instruments which they have never seen before, for them to learn about.
These are the five instruments I will be including in my game; Claves, Cowbell, Triangle, Tambourine, and Harmonica. I may have a description saying what instrument is what on the panels you click. Next thing to make sure is to make the game very colourful, and have fun looking characters.
I was going to go through a cardboard cut out styled game, but I don't think it would have fit in with the characters. It would have been nice, but it was hard to understand what was what on the character, and possibly create less time for myself to focus on creating the game.
These characters are called Tui's, and there'll be different kinds for each instrument. It will give each instrument a unique feel to them, and possibly get more attention that way instead of having just one individual character.

Flow Chart of how the Game Will Work
This flow chart shows the details of how my game will run in a series of yes and no's. I wanted to do this so I know exactly what to focus on and whether I should change things in the process. It will be such a simple game, starting firstly with the "Start Game". When the button is pressed to start the game, the game runs normally until you win or loose.
