This two-disk set repackages Madeline's European Adventures with a second disk filled with fun, easy to use problem-solving activities. The irrepressible Madeline herself guides the user through a tour of her quaint French schoolhouse and its environs, where each room holds a number of interesting tasks available at three difficulty levels. Games include navigating a maze in the garden where Genevieve has lost her way, packing a picnic basket in the kitchen where the user must attend to specific directions, practicing spelling in the classroom with an antique-looking typewriter (what is that?), and exploring the worlds of music and art in the studio, and more. Throughout each activity Madeline turns on her abundant charm, encouraging, praising and giggling her way into the hearts of her newfound friends.
Three ability-levels allow for continued use as students develop and their skills increase. Although the program is obviously aimed at children in the early elementary school years, our older testers, although not terrifically challenged, enjoyed both program disks.
Our testers’ favorite activity was the interior design section, which features an empty room to be wallpapered, carpeted and furnished. Kids frequently returned to the room to rearrange items or totally obliterate their designs and begin anew. "It's fun making a new room every day. I wish I could have all the furniture Madeline has!" was a typical comment.
Because of the packaging, (the two disks come in a cardboard folder instead of a CD case and the User's Guide is imbedded in a section of cardboard packaging in the program box) many of our testers didn't realize that the set includes a User's Guide until it was pointed out to them. They had no trouble utilizing the Thinking Games disk without unaided, but were relieved to discover a guide to consult while playing European Adventures.
