This program provides 15 games aimed at kids. They are aimed at grades K to grade 8 but can be enjoyed by all. Each game has a large number of options, to provide the largest number of game situations. 

Concentration is the card game where you search for matching pairs of cards. Simon Says is an echo game that challenges memory skills. Codebreaker asks you to decipher a multi-color code using clues from the computer. Build a Wall and Jelly Beans are competitions between two players or versus the computer. In Build a Wall, you take turns adding blocks to a wall trying to complete it. In Jelly Beans, you take turns removing beans from a jar and the one who takes the last bean loses! 

Awari is an ancient African pebbles-in-pits game. Logical planning skills are needed to collect pebbles from the pits. In Drop Four, you try to line up four basketballs or soccer balls by dropping them down a vertical playing grid. In Row of Five, the object is to line up five markers in a row on a checker board. Play against the computer (different difficulties) or a friend. In Reverse, trap your opponent’s playing pieces, they reverse color and become your pieces. Play Checkers against a computer opponent. 

Slider Puzzle is the classic puzzle where you arrange sliding tiles in order on a playing board. Twister Puzzle is a two-dimensional version of Rubik’s cube. Star Puzzle asks you to jump pieces on a star board to end up with certain results. In Peg Puzzle, you jump pegs on a cross-shaped board removing each jumped peg - the goal is to match one of many patterns. Acey Deucey is a card game where you make bets on whether a card is between two displayed cards.

These are all cute games, and interesting too. If you have kids-you can’t afford not to have this program!
