Lex, Word Fun One cover art. Wizard with helicopters. Incredible concept. The game allows you to become a wordy pilot of the Semantic Squadron, I've read!
๏ปฟWord Fun 1 Based on a helicopter theme, this package provides learners with plenty of hands on action as they take control of their various aircraft. Its interesting graphics reinforce the fantasy aspect of a skill building word rescue assignment. Oppocopter uses words taken from a large pool of carefully selected exact opposite pairs, that have beeen graded into four levels of difficulty. The learner manoeuvres a helicopter to shoot down the correct opposite from a multiple selection. A scorebar counts correct answers, but if an error is made, the correct answer is highlighted. At each level, one of four speeds can be chosen to place a time limit on answering each question. Synocopter asks the learner to effect a rescue by helicopter, by matching a word with its exact synonym to correctly locate the target. There are three levels of difficulty and three speeds to choose from. Alphacopter provides a unique way to practise alphabetical skills as well as strategic problem solving skills. Using a helicopter to lift the top word block off one of three piles and then to move it to another pile, the learner is able to transform a randomly ordered pile of words into an alphabetically ordered array. Six levels grade this activity from a simple task to a most demanding one. The exciting action in all three games gives this package a particularly strong computer games appeal which is well balanced by its sound educational content.
