DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITIES

• Lobster Letters

1. Learning Letters

Have you ever flown a kite? Well here’s your chance. In this

activity you will see a boy or a girl appear on the screen dragging

a kite behind him or her. The boy or the girl and the kite will

stop in the middle of the screen. On the kite you will see a

letter which will flash. All you have to do is press the letter on your keyboard that

matches the letter that you see on the kite. Go ahead you can do it!

2. Letter Pairs

Are you ready for a game of Letter Pairs? In this activity your

challenge is to match the letters in uppercase with the letters

in lowercase. Several object pairs will appear on the screen

and magically change into uppercase and lowercase letters. Use

your CURSOR keys to select the matching letter pairs and press ENTER to confirm

your answer. Press the DELETE key if you make a mistake and want to change

the letter you selected.

3. Rhyming Fun

Making rhyming words is loads of fun. In this activity, an object

will appear on the LCD screen. Then, as if by magic, small

characters will appear at the top of the screen and turn into the

object word. Listen closely because the word will be voiced out.

This is your rhyming clue. After you hear your clue, you will see 3 choices of rhyming

words appear on the screen. These words will also be voiced. When you hear the

word that sounds like it rhymes with the first object, press the ENTER key. Please

note in Level 3, the most challenging level, you will not receive a verbal clue.

4. Lost Letter

Are you ready for the Lost Letter challenge? Here we go. The

goal of this activity is to fill in the beginning letter of the words.

In Level 1 an object will appear on the screen followed by the

obiect word.Watch carefully because the beginning letter in the

word will disappear. Then three letter choices will scroll across the bottom of the

screen. Use your cursor keys to select the correct letter and press ENTER. Level

2 is a little bit tougher. This time when the object word appears on the screen the

beginning letter will be missing. Once again watch the letters as they scroll across

the bottom of the screen and select the letter that completes the word. Finally, in

Level 3, the most challenging level of all, the object word will appear on the screen

the same as in Level 2. This time however, you do not get any hints. Use your

keyboard to find the letter that completes the word and press ENTER. Go on. You

can do it!

5. Mystery Letter

If you like to solve mysteries, then you’re going to love this one.

First of all, an object will appear on the screen. Then the

corresponding object word will appear with one or more letters

missing. Use your keyboard to find the letter or letters that will

complete the object word. This is your task you should choose

to accept it. Good luck!

6. Word Builder

The time has come to make some words. Step into our Word

Builder factory and we’ll tell you how it’s done. An object will appear

on the screen followed by the corresponding object word. Watch

carefully because the word will disappear. In its place will be several

letter channels. Your mission is to use your CURSOR keys, to catch the letters in the

channels, that match the word you saw. Let’s see how many words you can make.

• Manatee Math

1. Learning Numbers

Learning numbers in the Learning Numbers activity is no

problem. In Level 1 you will see a number word appear on

the screen. Then three number choices will scroll across one

by one. Press your ENTER key when you see the number that

matches the number word or simply press the matching number on your keyboard.

The challenge continues in Level 2 and Level 3. In these levels, not only do you

get to find the numbers to match the number words, but you also get to test your

knowledge by matching the number words to the numbers. Remember you can use

your CURSOR keys or your NUMBER keys to find the answer.

2. Find the Number

The truth about this activity is that it’s just plain fun. An airplane

will appear on your screen. The airplane is towing a very special

package. On the outside of the package is a number. The

number on the package will flash. To find out what’s inside

the package you must type the number on your keyboard that matches the number

on the package. When you find the matching number, watch the screen and you

will get a big surprise!

3. Number Chain

Oh, no! Our friendly, sea-smart dog is stuck on the other side

of the bridge. Can you help? To help him across, fill in the

missing numbers in the number chain that appear at the bottom

of your screen. If you fill the numbers in correctly, then the

dog will move across the bridge from left to right to arrive safely on the other side

of the bridge. Please note in Level 1 and Level 2, the numbers are in ascending

order. In Level 3, they are in descending order. Thanks for your help.

4. Counting

Counting is cool. In this activity objects will appear on the screen

and scroll up. Count how many there are and input the answer

by pressing the NUMBER keys and the ENTER key on your

keyboard.

5. Addition

How about some addition? Don’t worry, we start off slow then

work our way up. In Level 1, two sets of objects are shown

on the screen. Count the objects. When you think you know

the answer, type the number on your keyboard and press

ENTER. In Level 2, we start using equations. If you need some help just watch

for the hint. After the equation appears on the screen, then you will see one group

of objects followed by another group, and then the equation will be shown again.

Use the objects as a hint to help you solve the equation. In Level 3, only an equation

will be shown. Solve the equation and input the correct answer by using the NUMBER

keys, and pressing the ENTER key to confirm.

6. Take Away

Now it’s time for a little subtraction action. In Level 1, two sets

of objects will appear on the screen. Find the difference between

the two sets of objects. When you think you know the answer,

type the number on your keyboard and press ENTER. In Level

2, we start using equations. If you need some help just watch for the hint. After

the equation appears on the LCD screen, one group of objects followed by a smaller

group of objects will appear and finally the equation will be shown again. Use the

objects as a hint to help you solve the equation. In Level 3, only an equation will

be shown. Solve the equation and input the correct answer by using the NUMBER

keys, and pressing the ENTER key to confirm.

• Porpoise Play

1. Does It Belong?

This activity is called Does It Belong. Your challenge is to find the word that belongs

to the group. Sound like a hard challenge? Well don’t worry, you can do it. All

you have to do is watch your screen. A picture of an object group will appear, then

three word choices will be shown. Press the ENTER key to select the word that

belongs to the group. Go on. Give it a try.
