Seven different games, designed to help children aged five to nine with maths, memory, spelling and telling the time.

Math1 deals with addition and subtraction, Math2 with multiplication and division - in both, the players must race to answer the questions and reach the finishing flag before a time limit runs out. A good idea, but both games fail to show the right answer if the player answers incorrectly - a serious omission in an educational program.

Cubecount asks the players to count the number of cubes displayed, and Shapes asks them to name various shapes. Both have good graphics and are fun to play.

Memory tests ability to recall colours and shapes displayed in a limited time period, and Spell and Clock, as you might expect, help with spelling and telling the time.

An excellent mixture of games, offering various levels of difficulty and speed of response. Entertaining enough to keep young children's attention and, on the whole, well-designed enough to help them learn while enjoying themselves. Good value for money.
