Great teaching game,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cluefinders 6TH Grade Adventures: Empire Of The Plant People (CD-ROM)
We are a homeschooling family. I bought this game along with the fourth grade and fifth grade versions for my nine year old. She sailed through the other two, but found this one challenging. It is great for reinforcing math, introduces chemistry, addresses the pollution problem, history, spelling, vocabulary and reading comprehension. There is a level selection area in which you can choose how hard or easy the game is, but this is also handy for letting parents know where your child may need some help in or where they excel. It has a practice mode where the child can just do the activities without having to play the game. I found this great for reinforcing some of those areas my daughter needed more help in.Even though my daughter has finished all three games, she still plays these.

Cluefinders 6th Grade Adventures,
By Vivian Cisneros "MsC" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cluefinders 6TH Grade Adventures: Empire Of The Plant People (CD-ROM)
This product provides an excellent source for preparation or reinforcement of what a 6th grader is expected to know. Players are put into a mystery situation where they have to solve clues in order to figure out the answers. Various aspects of the 6th grade curriculum are covered, and the computer adjusts for the skill level of the player, making the games increasingly more challenging. Areas covered include logical thinking, mathematics, science, geography, social science, and language arts. The games are fun, and since they get progressively harder as the student masters a skill, they do not get boring. At times the transition time from one activity to the next can be a bit long, and instructions are repetitive, but this seemed to bother adults more than children; this should not deter the buyer, however, as the positive aspects of this game far outweigh the negatives. Graphics and sound are excellent, and help includes a map and a reference section. Levels can be set manually, or the program can be adjusted to automatically determine when to advance to the next level as a skill is mastered. On the whole this is an excellent product, and a great way to make learning fun. Highly Recommended. Reviewer is a teacher and a librarian.

Cool,

This game is fun and VERY educational... I even forgot I waslearning while playing it! The games are fun and have different levels, so if one level is too easy you may make is harder and more challenging. It explains the mini-game and how to play. The charactors are click-able and they seem to talk and help you throughout the whole game. You meet cool alien type things, and in order to survive, you must figure out the answer to the mini-games. The backround music is pretty cool, but it may get annoying you can turn off the music, too! before you begin the game, it shows a mini movie of what's happening and it tells about your mission.I love this game! |
