📘 How to Play Flappy Bird

Flappy Bird is a timing game where you keep your bird airborne by navigating through gaps in green pipes. Each tap lifts the bird higher, while gravity constantly pulls it back down. The goal is to pass through the pipe openings to score points without hitting any obstacles.

1. Tap anywhere on the screen or press the SPACE key to start and keep the bird flying.
2. Tap again just before the bird hits the ground to lift it back up into the air.
3. Time your taps carefully to guide the bird through the gaps in the green pipes.
4. Watch your score increase by 10 points for each pipe passed, but remember the game ends if you hit a pipe or the ground.

👶 What to expect at ages 5-12

Children aged 5-12 will need to constantly monitor their finger taps or key presses to prevent the bird from falling. The random placement of pipes requires patience and quick reflexes to navigate successfully.

🏠 At home and in class

Challenge your child to see who can get a higher score by playing together. Since pipe positions change every time, explore different strategies for tapping rhythm and hand-eye coordination as a team.

💡 Tips

• Avoid lifting the bird too high with each tap; make small, frequent adjustments to maintain balance.
• Don't aim for the exact center of the gap; rely on your reflexes as the pipe approaches.
• Adjust your tapping timing based on how fast the bird is falling due to gravity.
