Let's Eat (hiʔcsi:wa:waʔa) A Wichita Language Game of Hidden Foods

The Wichita Language Game of Hidden Foods was developed as an educational tool to encourage and teach people of all ages how to pronounce (35) names of various foods in the Wichita language.

The object of the game is for you to learn the pronunciation of each food item spoken in the Wichita language.

This is accomplished by matching the food name with the shape of the food item after it is pronounced in the Wichita language. After you have matched the food name to the shape you will hear the next word and see the new shape. There is a timer that times out in 10 seconds.
