On this screen, kid’s can click on the numbers shown and they will briefly highlight and say what they are. If the numbers are clicked in order, they will stay lit. If the numbers are all clicked in order from 1 to 9 then there is a reward and the numbers rearrange themselves, so that the child is actually learning the sequence value of the numbers not just the pattern in which they are arranged on the screen.
ABC’s
On this screen, kid’s can click on the letters shown and they will briefly highlight and say what they are.
Color Wheel
This screen shows colored dots, if you click on one of them, it will turn the screen that color, show the word for the color and say what it is. (If you click in the center of the color wheel it will show you the background color, black.)
4Square
The object of this game is to choose the shape that is different. If you click on a shape it will say what shape it is, if you click on the shape that is different, it will say what shape it is and then go to the next screen. If you get 5 right in a row, there is a reward.
Shoot’em
Just click the mouse to shoot at the ball. It starts black & white and starts to spin & change colors the more you shoot it.
Hungry Boxes
There are four colored boxes at the top of the screen that spit out a matching marble. The object is to click and drag the marble into the correct box. If you drag a marble over a box it will say “Feed Me” and flap it’s flaps. If you put the ball in the wrong box, it spit’s it out... in the right box it swallows the ball & says “Yuummm” If you complete all four the game starts again.
HowMany
There are a number of objects displayed on the screen. The object is to click on the corresponding number on the number pad on the screen. If you get it right it makes a happy noise, wrong it say’s try again. You can try indefinitely. If you get 5 right in a row then you get a reward.
SimonNot!
This is a Simon like sequence game. You can either just click on the buttons & they will make noise, or you can play the game. To play, hit the Play Game button and wait for your turn. Watch which buttons highlight in what order & repeat the pattern when it’s your turn. If you get up to 5 in a row you get a reward and then the game gets increasingly more difficult as you continue to win...
Random
Your guess is as good as mine, the question mark button randomly selects a game for you to play.
