This game encourages exploration and creativity and teaches cause and effect, reasoning, and abstract math concepts. Kids can design their own color matching game in Memory . Cards may be laid out in one of five different patterns. Items to match include circles, squares, triangles, stars, or words. Skills include color recognition, remembering, cause and effect reasoning, problem solving, and taking turns.
Children choose a number then watch that amount of stars and the number appear on the screen.
Next they can trace the number with the cursor and watch their tracing replayed in rainbow colors. A tone value is attached to each number, recorded and played. The more children count, the longer the number song. I have reviewed dozens of software programs for young children, and this is the first one I've come across which teaches sign language. In Spell , children choose a letter, trace the dots to write the letter, then watch their tracing replayed in rainbow colors.
