This interactive activity program helps students with the fundamentals of early learning, specifically mathematics and reading. The program is part of the Big Thinkers series available from Humongous. In the Big Thinkers series, The Brightly Twins, Ben and Becky, lead children through 16 activities which focus on developing specific skills such as telling time, estimating and measuring distances, counting, addition, logic, sequencing and patterning, and learning the alphabet. This program works in an interdisciplinary fashion to also cover such topics as art, music, environmental science and geography.
Children earn smart stars as they go which can then be used to play an on-screen board game.
Users will be amused by Ben and Becky s antics which include Ben s face turning into a clock and birds perching on their legs in an activity focused on addition. A Library Talk reviewer adds, the kindergarten and first grade classes at my school loved visiting the Brightly twins home. Evaluators at Children s Software Revue liked how the games integrated the character into the theme and concluded, overall, this is one of the best variety packs we ve seen to date.
