<p>There are lots of matching games available for kids on the iPhone, and it&#8217;s not at all clear why kids would really need more than one.  That said, if your kids don&#8217;t already have a favorite matching game, <a href="http://bit.ly/3inffW">Count Racula</a> is worth grabbing &#8212; especially this time of year.   The app features a standard card-flipping game board, filled with a small army of vampires that need to be matched with their pair.  <a href="http://bit.ly/3inffW"><img src="http://theikidsblog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/count_racula-200x300.jpg" alt="Count Racula" title="Count Racula" width="200" height="300" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-795" /></a> </p>
<p>The user interface is just what you&#8217;d hope for and expect &#8211; simply touch the cards to flip them over and try to match pairs.  There are two modes available within the app &#8212; matching numbers to numbers, or matching numbers to objects.  Throughout the experience, the aesthetic of the app is true to the spooky theme  &#8212;  both melodies and illustrations deliver on the promise of some ghoulish Halloween fun.  </p>
<p> <a href="http://bit.ly/3inffW"><img src="http://theikidsblog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/photo2.jpg" alt="Count Racula" title="Count Racula" width="200" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-798" /></a></p>
<p>Also worth noting &#8211; the app not only helps kids learn to count, but it helps teach them to do so in both Spanish and English by saying the relevant number when you match a pair.  </p>
<p>Sound like the perfect Halloween treat for your little monster?  You can <a href="http://bit.ly/3inffW">pick it up from the iTunes store here</a>.</p>
