LOGIC GAMES FOR KIDS for Windows, Version 4.0
Purpose: Logic Games for Kids provides fourteen programs
that challenge a child's thinking skills. The programs are aimed
at Grades K through 8, but can be enjoyed by all. Each
program in Logic Games for Kids has a number of playing
options to provide a large variety of game situations.
Concentration is the classic card game where you search for
matching pairs of cards. Simon Says is an echo game that
challenges memory skills-- repeat patterns of colors,
shapes, or pictures. Codebreaker asks you to decipher a
multi-color code using clues from the computer. Build a Wall
and Jelly Beans are competitions between two players or
versus the computer. In Build a Wall, you take turns adding
blocks to a wall trying to complete it. In Jelly Beans, you
take turns removing beans from a jar and the one who takes
the last bean loses! Awari is an ancient African pebbles-in-pits
game. Logical planning skills are needed to collect pebbles from
the pits.
In Drop Four, you try to line up four basketballs or soccer
balls by dropping them down a vertical playing grid. In Row
of Five, the object is to line up five markers in a row on a
checker board. Play against the computer (different
difficulties) or a friend. In Reverse, by trapping your
opponent's playing pieces, they reverse color and become
your pieces. The one with the most pieces at the end of the
game wins. Play Checkers against a computer opponent. The
computer isn't so smart that it can't be beat. Slider Puzzle is the
classic puzzle where you arrange sliding tiles in order on a playing
board. Twister Puzzle is a two-dimensional version of Rubik's cube.
Star Puzzle asks you to jump pieces on a star board to end up with
certain results. In Peg Puzzle, you jump pegs on a cross-shaped
board removing each jumped peg - the goal is to match one of many
patterns.
