Frog Fun in Dragon Land

I have had the opportunity to look at a learning program that features characters from the Sesame Workshop’s Dragon Land show. That was a while back. Now the folks at Encore Entertainment have came out with another learning program with those fun loving kids and dragons from the show. This new program is called Dragon Frog Jamboree. It is designed for kids ages 3 to 6.

Dragon Frog Jamboree is a fun adventure that allows children to help the game characters find the Dragon Frogs. These cute little tadpoles have wander off somewhere to play and are now needed back so they can practice for a concert.

The game has some original music and 15 animated scenes that feature the Dragon Land characters. Move around the screen and find things to click on. Some of these items are links to other areas of the game.

The characters that are available to help you in the game are Emmy and Max along with their dragon friends Cassie and Ord. There is also the two headed dragon known as both Zak and Wheezie and the Spanish accented dragon Quetzal.

The places to look for the Dragon Frogs are the Mushroom Meadow, Rainbow Canyon, Dandelion Forest and Turtle Rock. There are several other places to check out to see if the frogs are there.

Just so you don’t think that this is all fun and games, this program has 14 specific learning areas that are covered. There is exploration, following instructions, collaboration, cause & effect and pattern recognition. Other learning areas in the game are predicting, reasoning, classification & categorization and part-whole relationships. Also covered are coping with fears and aural / visual discrimination issues.

There are things to do like assembling the playground so that the gang can take a break from searching for the Dragon Frogs. Place the appropriate playground pieces in the right spot and once everything is in place, you and Ord can play. Cassie is trying to fix a rainbow. She will need help in collecting colored butterflies and putting them on the rainbow. There is even a dandelion maze that you will help Zak and Wheezie get through so that they can find the Dragon Frogs.

Any child who likes the Dragon Tales television show is sure to love this program. It has all of the characters from the show and has a lot of fun activities.

Look for Dragon Frog Jamboree to be coming to your local software retailer in the near future.
