An educational app for kids aged 4+
Despite the name, Earthquake Safety Tips is less an educational app and more a preschool game featuring popular Baby Panda characters, MiuMiu and Kiki. This free educational game comes with in-app purchases and is available for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS devices. It’s about as popular as they get, other than earthquake trackers and seismographs like the SeisMac app.
Similar in its design to Lola’s Alphabet Train Free, this colorful kid’s app aims to prepare young children to pack an emergency backpack, look for shelter, protect themselves, escape fires, bandage wounds, seek help, and feed animals trapped in an earthquake, among others.
How does it work?
This earthquake awareness app takes the user through a series of locations and scenarios. Each scene is peppered with songs, quizzes, and short games. These are designed to test the child’s ability to make decisions for their safety and protection.

A lightweight emergency and safety app
This kid’s earthquake app tries to debunk some of the most common earthquake safety myths with songs and quizzes. However, the storyline takes up most of the gameplay. There is also limited interaction, so the true educational value of this game is anyone’s guess.
