Abstract
Planning a usability testing for the children needs guidance and persistence. For this purpose, we identified an educational game for learning Arabic words to be tested for its usability and learnability aspects. We followed guidelines for usability testing with children by Hanna et. al. Thus, this paper focuses on issues that have been overlooked in performing testing with children. From the lessons learned, additional steps in conducting usability testing with children were made to help the young and novice testers who have never worked with children previously.
