ACTIVITY LIST
English
Guess the letter
A letter is drawn onscreen. Type it on your keyboard. Press to confirm your
answer.
There are 2 difficulty levels, level 2 being the most difficult.
Note: keep in mind that to key in capital letters, you must use the SHIFT key.
Word fun
3 words are displayed onscreen. Sort them in alphabetical order (according to the
position in the alphabet of the word’s first letter). Use the arrow keys to
highlight the first word in black and press . Once a word is selected, it moves
to the upper row. Proceed the same way to select the second word; the third one
is saved automatically. For example, let’s say you are given the following words:
fourteen, donkey, eleven. The first word is donkey since the letter ‘d’ comes first
in the alphabet before the ‘e’ of eleven and the ‘f’ of fourteen. Thus, the right
order is: donkey, eleven and fourteen.
There are 2 difficulty levels, level 2 being the most difficult.
