Madeline: Classroom Companion – Preschool & Kindergarten

## Description

_Madeline: Classroom Companion – Preschool & Kindergarten_ is an educational
game for children aged four to six. It is based on the 1939 _Madeline_ book by
Ludwig Bemelmans, which also spawned a media franchise and a US TV series. The
game comes on two discs with separate games. The first one is for preschool
children with skills such as counting, letters, shapes & sizes, colors,
sorting and sequencing, and creativity. The second is for children in
kindergarten with skills such as early reading, nature & science, addition,
subtraction, French and Spanish vocabulary, and world geography. Activities
have three skill levels and there are more than 50 activities in total. There
are printable activity sheets, printable stickers, awards and postcards, a
progress checker, and videos from the animated TV series.

On the preschool disc Madeline explores her neighborhood meeting characters
and visiting different locations. At the zoo she learns about letters. At the
bakery she has to count the goods. In the stationary store Madeline learns
about nature. At the art gallery Madeline has to identify simple shapes and
finish painting. In her playroom thinking skills need to be applied to sort
the toys

On the kindergarten disc Madeline explores her neighborhood, meets the
characters and participates in activities. At the general store she has to use
her spelling skills to complete tags. In the playroom she has to match labels
for English, French and Spanish words to toys. In the magic theatre children
can sing along with Madeline songs and videos. In the jewelry store pattern
recognition skills are developed by putting beads of different colours and
sizes in the correct order to create a necklace, and so on.
