Dora the Explorer Backpack Adventure

INFO
Dora the Explorer Backpack Adventure
Dora and Boots need to return her books to the Library, and they need your help to get there! Along the way, you'll help them solve problems, figure out puzzles and play games with their friends Benny the bull, Isa the iguana, and Tico the squirrel! Watch out for the Grumpy Old Troll and that sneaky fox, Swiper! With Dora, even returning books to the Library becomes an adventure!
Nearly any fan of Dora the Explorer's TV show will enjoy this structured "adventure" in which players help the program's intrepid heroine achieve the noble goal of returning her library books on time. While not exactly suspenseful, the program is ideal for children ages 3 to 5 who are just learning how to use a computer. Over a soundtrack of catchy Latin music, the player helps Dora and her perky friends overcome a series of seven obstacles, and collects sticker prizes along the way. The program is unlikely to hold the attention of more computer-savvy kids as it is very predictable, structured, and slow paced. But its emphasis on teamwork and opportunities to practice color, shape, and number recognition--not to mention learn a little Spanish--make it worthwhile.
Only a minute or so into the program most adults will find Dora's incessant cheerfulness a bit old as she shouts out a steady stream of encouragement. But for kids, this aspect may not be so hard to take. Dora's pack of friends from the TV shows all appear in the program, along with the Fiesta Trio, a dancing frog-snail-and-bug band.
The seven games that make up the plot of the program emphasize basic skills and concepts. They include locating Dora's books by color, sorting through her backpack for objects, and solving simple pattern-recognition problems. There are three levels of difficulty--each varies according to how much Spanish is used and how advanced the number and pattern problems are. One drawback is that if a child gets stuck there is no way to ask for specific help or hints. A useful feature, however, is the ability to stop and start the program where the player left off, and save individual programs for up to three different players.
While kids used to more fast-paced programs may quickly get bored, young children--especially those who are already fans of the TV show--will have fun developing their mouse skills and putting their problem-solving abilities to the test. --Molly Masland

Kids Having Fun

INFO
We originally made the games for our own children, they liked it so much we decided to share it with everyone. We enlisted the help of our 4 year old Daughter for the sound effects of the Dragon and the small boy, we had many good times and tons of laughs doing the recording, we sincerely hope your children enjoy it.

The games consist of....
Shape Sorter, where you place the correct shapes in the correct coloured boxes. When the shapes have been correctly sorted a short animation play's along with a short sound file. Teaches the child about 'Drag & Drop'
Puzzle game, there are small pictures that you place in a frame to make the picture shown on the screen (only one image to choose from in this version). When the pictures have been correctly placed a short sound file is played and the screen flashes different colours. Teaches the child about 'Drag & Drop' and mouse control
Spelling Game, 6 words (can be redefined by an adult) that need to be spelt correctly, if the word is wrongly spelt there is a small animation and sound file played. Similarly if the word is correctly spelt a different animation of a small child is shown and a different sound file played. Teaches the child about the keyboard layout and Spellings
Maths Game. Maths can be fun, in this simply addition game, you have to count the number of Teddy Bears shown
(along with the numbers). The object of the game is to make 'Cassie' the dragon sneeze, a correct answer will result in the Dragon sneezing, n incorrect answer will result in, well something else, we can't give it all away here J. Teaches the child about the numerical layout of the keyboard and maths.
Scribbles. Is a simple drawing game with colours, shapes and freehand drawing, The idea of the game is mouse skills, colour recognition and fun. Once the child has finished their drawing they can press a single button to make the current image the Windows default wallpaper. There are also 10 different tunes that play randomly in the background while they are drawing.
Stomping Game. In this section the child learns about mouse control, hand to eye co-ordination. The object of the game is to stomp as many spiders as you can to gain as many points as you can, along the way the child learns about hand to eye co-ordination and mouse skills, just all out good fun.
There is a set up screen for use by adults where you can enter the child name which is used throughout the program and you can change any of the 4 sets of spellings to your own tastes.
With all of the games there is a strong emphasis on fun, the child will want to play the game because it's fun, not because they are learning, and they will certainly have fun. We removed the idea of 'Wrong & Correct' and replaced them with more entertaining methods, for example in the Maths Game we have 'Happy Faces' & 'Sad or Mad Faces', who cares whether your child gets the answer correct or wrong, fun is the main objective of the game with learning as back ground task, obviously the child will want to get the answers correct to see more 'Happy Faces'.
All of the buttons are over sized and the fonts made bigger so that a child can use the games easily once they have been shown whet they are supposed to do.
