Disney's The Lion King Activity Center for PC/Macintosh CD-ROMs If you are looking for good software to help children learn by doing, Disney's The Lion King Activity Center , a kingdom of fun and learning, should be a product that you are going to love, learn from, and return to, time and again.
The Lion King Activity Center , which is suitable for those aged five and up, is another proven winner in the Disney Interactive CD-ROM library. Apart from games, it features film and song clips from the hit movie, The Lion King .
Kids can discover the Jungle , Rafiki's Tree , the Magic Pool and the Shadowlands . Each of these consists of musical games, puzzles, word teasers, and mazes to build their logic, memory, matching, reasoning, and spelling skills.
There are nine games with three different skill levels. Some of the games can be played by more than one person. You can play against a friend, or choose to play against a character from the animated feature film.
For example, Timon and Pumbaa's Spelling Game emphasises letter forms, word patterns, and letter-sound relationships as children spell four- to eight-letter, jungle-related words.
A more challenging activity in the Jungle is Timon's Bug Matching Game in which kids can hunt to match identical sets of bugs. Pay attention to the details of each bug as some of the differences are intricate.
There is an Art Center which can be reached by clicking on the canvas icon in Rafiki's Tree . Kids can even complete artwork to decorate their rooms.
