- 1. DESCRIPTION
-
- Kids Concentration is a game that is based on the old game of Concentration.
- This program was designed with kids in mind to help them develop their
- concentration skills, hand-eye coordination (via the mouse), while learning
- about the alphabet, numbers, and colors. The program contains four different
- matching games for variety, each supporting three skill levels of difficulty.
- A pleasant female voice is used throughout, along with actual animal sounds,
- and other sound effects.
-

- The required letter position at the top of the screen will be indicated by a
- white underscore. Depending upon the skill level setting, these positions will
- contain upper case letter cards, lower case letter cards, both case letter cards
- or plain blank cards. See the program help file for more details.
-
- The Numbers Window:
- The object is to learn the basic numbers 1 thru 10. This is achieved by

- number card located at the bottom the screen. See the program help file for
