Welcome to Tar Heel Gameplay, a collection of free, easy-to-play, and accessible games. Each game is speech enabled and may be accessed using multiple interfaces, including touch screens and 1 to 3 switches. You may create your own games using videos from the huge collection at YouTube.

It's based on creating switch stop/starts in YouTube videos, and you can also set it up with your own videos by cutting and pasting the link. You just don't want to save those home videos to the GamePlay website where everyone searches. http://tarheelgameplay.org/ It works best if you use it in a Chrome browser, but on my iPad, I've been using it in Safari okay. Check out some of my favorites - Disney Princess Medley - from one of my Bridge Camp buddies - A Ornie the Pig - the stops emphasize action verbs that the character is going to do if you activate the swtich, not just hit the switch to make it go Nascar pit Stop - if you want lots of switch activations and fast action and of course, Scat - because who doesn't love ya some Ice Age squirrel thing?
