Children must think about how to get past certain obstacles by, for example, disguising Mr. Potato Head. A less familiar title is Mixed Up Mother Goose Deluxe from Sierra . This is an older title that is still in print, and is a delightful mix of adventure, nursery rhymes and songs. Certain well-known nursery rhyme characters have each misplaced one thing, and are very unhappy because of it. In order to find the missing items, kids will first choose a computer player they want to be, then start out on their quest in the Land of Mother Goose.
Kids love that part.
The 18 objects are randomized each new game for hours of return play. Best for kids ages 3-6, but many older kids have fun playing this game, too. Many software titles designed as supplements to elementary school grade levels are set as adventures. These are well suited to children who need a bit more encouragement or motivation to persevere through learning activities. After all, adventures can be great disguises for educational activities.
