Popcap's Book Worm Game - Educational, Fun, Addictive
The book worm game can be played online; you can
download your own. Any game that makes an adult compete with a kid to be
at the computer has got to be worth it.
I have to recommend educational games such
as BookWorm Deluxe from
PopCap Games. BookWork is easy to play and it makes you think.
Basically, you create words to feed the bookworm
by clicking on the letter tiles.
For example, to create the word "HANDY" as shown in the
picture on this page, click the letters in order.
The stacks of letters move down each time you use a
tile and more letter tiles are added at the top.
You have to make sure you use up the red hot tiles
before they get to the bottom, or else they will burn down the
library! That would be the "end of your game" - but you can play again and
again.
And you will love to see your score grow. It's a game
of strategy, too. You'll squeeze every bit out of your vocabulary to come
up with the longest words.
From the dots on the letter tiles you can see that some
letters, and letter combinations such as "Qu", are worth more than others.
The game gets harder as you play, but you also move up in your rank (or
level), so it is fun!
One more thing you will like about the Book Worm game and all the
other games at PopCap is that you can play them online to see if you like
them. If you want to buy BookWorm,
