- Detailed Program Description:
- -----------------------------
- The colorful graphics, songs, and speech of Preschool Pack will
- be sure to capture the attention of your preschooler. From the
- main menu screen, which contains a cat which meows and winks when
- clicked, to the bee which frowns when a mistake is made in the
- matching game, you and your preschooler will appreciate the
- careful design and attention to detail of Preschool Pack. Through
- six different and entertaining activities your preschooler will learn
- about counting, number recognition, the alphabet, colors, matching,
- classifying, and memorizing his name, address, and telephone number.
-
- The activities include: "Animal Homes", where animals must be placed
- in their appropriate homes - either farm, forest, or circus. Most of
- the animals have an accompanying animation and animal sound!
- "Balloons", where the user must click on a color block matching
- the color of a rising balloon before it pops; "Matching", a memory
- game with an animated bee rewarding the user who locates all
- matches; "Counting", where the user counts along with the computer
- as a variety of colorful images, from dinosaurs to dolls, are
- displayed; and "ABC's" where the user must find all letters which
- match a displayed letter. "ABC's" uses speech to pronounce each
- letter as it is selected. In the last activity the child will
- learn to spell his name, as well as learning his address and
- phone number. All activities are reinforced with cheerful music
- and animation sequences.
