of:
Number Train: A coloured train moves along the rails and the child has to stop
it at the matching coloured station to drop off and pick up passengers. Once
the train has stopped at the correct station, a maths problem appears and when
the correct answer is typed the train moves on and changes colour.
Maths Maze: The child has to move a frog around a maze full of creatures and
when the frog touches a creature a maths problem appears and the correct
answer is needed to move on.
Shopping: The child has a shopping list and the child must move the frog to
the correct shop from a choice of four to select the highlighted item on the
list.
Treasure Hunt: Treasure is hidden on an island made up of squares and the
child must type in co-ordinates to move a frog to search that square. If the
treasure isn’t there then the computer says how close the frog is to the
actual treasure by using cold, warm and hot.
Bounce: A hand holds a ball and the child must adjust the position and angle
of the hand to throw the ball and hit an apple in a room.
Animals: This is a version of hangman where a child has ten attempts to guess
the letters to make up the name of an animal. If the child guesses the word
correctly then a caterpillar eats an apple. Run out of attempts and the child
loses apples from a bowl..
Packing: A square needs filling with a variety of shapes in the correct
position to fill it. The child moves a frog to place shapes into the square.
Number Jump: A grid of various numbers are shown to the child and a frog needs
to be moved across the grid from left to right. The correct number to jump on
has to be part of a multiplication table shown.
