Animal-Vegetable-Mineral

This program is ideal to keep children engrossed with the computer for long periods and at the same time be teaching them about all the animals vegetables and minerals that they can think of, The program asks very elementary questions about the animals, vegetables and minerals that the child was thinking of. For instance, if he was thinking of a cow, the computer might ask 'Has it got two legs?' to which one would answer 'no'.

After a few more questions on the same sort of basis the computer will have either guessed the animal (etc.) or will have given up, asking the child to type in what the animal was, along with a small question to distinguish between animals in its vocabulary. Pretty good as educational programs for the young go.
