Kahootz is a software package that is primarily designed for upper KS2 pupils and older. It allows the user to create an animated 3-D scene, or a sequence of scenes, from a resource bank containing settings and objects.
The resource bank has a large selection of buildings, objects, characters, music and sounds that can be added and animated to create the scenes. On the demonstration disc I looked at there were themes such as food, fantasy, space and sports. Obviously such a program is too advanced for pupils in an early years setting, but it could be helpful for practitioners to create their own animated scenes for use in the classroom with an interactive whiteboard.
