The author profile page of the user contains the saved authored game it can be deleted, edited, copied and shared. Our research is limited to 2 kinds of user this are the teacher as the author of the system, and the kinder 2 pupils as player of the game authored. In order for the kinder 2 pupils to play the game, the game contains bigger buttons, mouse oriented game (click, rollover, drag and drop), and bigger text. 1.4Significa 1.4 Significance nce of the Research This

research will greatly benefit the stakeholders of the institutions
