Kids use the mouse, tap the keyboard, or speak into a microphone in order to interact with each letter of the alphabet. Instead, this is a game of discovery and surprise. This CD-ROM opens with a moving alphabet sequence. Arguably the most intriguing activity features two marionettes that dance and spin in response to movements of the mouse. Letters dance, spiral, cavort, and transform, but music is as much a part of the program as these lively visuals.
Some activities allow children to experiment and interact with sounds.
At times, kids wonder what to do next, and then discover that if they abandon the mouse and start tapping letters on the keyboard, the activity advances. On the W page, a mouth whistles out letters and kids realize that hitting keys on the keyboard allows them to control which letters the mouth whistles. Then, a swipe of the mouse makes those letters dance and move. The N activity features a screen filled with vertical lines. The X activity takes the form of a puzzle that is challenging even for adults.
