摘要

Based on the needs of the child population in pre-school level reported by the teachers that refer children to the phono-audiology service to require strengthening their communication, language and cognitive skills. In Colombia a team of professionals from the research center of Manuela Beltran University developed a proposal to the Department of Administrative Science, Technology and innovation Colciencias, they aimed to design a game that would develop communication, language and cognitive skills in children, especially boys and girls aged between 4 and 6 years old The interdisciplinary team was formed by systems engineering, graphic design, pedagogy and phono-audiology areas. To consolidate the proposal methodology is used two stages: the first one is exploratory, because there is a lack of evidence of researches that want to strengthen these skills in children and the second stage is the technological design and architecture of the game.
