Whilst it's a good way to introduce children to word processing at a young age, this utility is somewhat restricted by only allowing 23 line chunks of text. This shouldn't pose a problem for the age group in question. Read Review

An animated word processor for children of all ages
Wordplay will fascinate and delight children of all ages. They will love activating its animal graphics to insert letters, delete letters, move and copy, block delete, left and right justify, search and replace.
The cast of animated animal characters include:
Selina Seagull, Gus the Gorilla, Marius the Mouse, Elephant Eve, Marcus the Monkey
Wordplay is immense fun, a great introduction to word processing and ideal for parents who want to learn in partnership with their children. The Model B version includes a Spelling Checker. The programs are easily transferable to disc using a special utility that is included on the tape.
Wordplay is suitable for the British Broadcasting Corporation Model B Microcomputer and the Acorn Electron.
