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.
