Easter holidays have arrived, many have their children at home and probably won't leave home because of the risk of getting COVID-19, especially minors who have not been vaccinated against the disease. To help them not get bored you can install some applications on your mobile device.
Technology has already proven to be an ally for learning and entertainment. The applications give a wide variety of options for children and even teenagers to have a good time while playing and learning. In addition, while they are entertained, adults can take advantage of the opportunity to carry out pending work or household chores.
The best way for a minor to be entertained is through games. For this, it is not necessary to resort to titles that may be violent or inappropriate because there are several educational titles.

This is a model that has been used on many occasions and has been shown to be effective for children to have fun while reviewing school topics.
In the app stores there are several gamification apps that can be taken advantage of during this holiday or even on subsequent weekends, when the child has free time.
1.- Mathematical Oracle
This is a free application for Android, available on the Google Play Store, where children at the primary level can play while they review their math classes.

When the minor starts the game, he is given a Pokémon egg that he must take care of, as he completes the activities of the House it will hatch.
