This new package teaches Spanish vocabulary in an enjoyable, yet very effective way. It
consists of a series of games which involve matching words with pictures. There are 78 sets of words
and pictures included, and instructions are given for creating your own sets.
The sound can be associated with the pictures or the words or both.
The 78 topics include animals, food and drink, clothes, occupations, leisure activities, travel,
household objects, school, numbers, parts of the body, weather, verbs, adjectives, prepositions and
many more.
Learn new words from pictures before you start playing a game.
The first four games - Three in a Row, Matchmaker, Fastfinger and
Guess what! - are for two people playing against each other, or one person playing against the
computer with a choice of three difficulty levels. The user chooses a topic from the 78 offered.
The remaining three games - Millionaire, Hangman, and Jigsaw - are for one
player only and operate using words selected at random from any of the 78 sets.
Pointing at a Spanish caption brings up a translation of it.

Three in a row
Nine pictures are displayed in three rows of three. Players take turns to choose one of the pictures
by clicking on the correct word underneath. The object of the game is to have three squares in your
own colour across, down or diagonally and, of course, to stop your opponent doing the same.
Matchmaker
Eighteen boxes conceal nine words and nine pictures. Players take turns to view the contents of any
two boxes by clicking on them. If the two boxes contain a matching picture and word, that player wins
those boxes and has another go. The skill is to remember where the pictures and words are. When all of
the boxes have been won, the player with the most boxes is the winner.
Fastfinger
Players choose a letter key on the computer keyboard. Each player starts with 25 points. Every time
the picture or the word changes, one point is taken off one of the players' scores and put into a pot
'A ganar' (to be won). When the word and the picture match, the first player to press his chosen key wins the
points in the pot. The winner of the game is the player to take all 50 points. The speed of the game
can be varied to suit different abilities.
Guess what!
The nine pictures are put in a random order by the computer. Players take turns to guess which
picture is next, typing the word underneath. One point is given for each correct guess, and that
picture is not used again. The winner is the player who has the most points when all of the pictures
have been guessed. The skill is in remembering the order of the pictures and which ones have already
been guessed.
Millionaire
The computer selects pictures at random from the 78 topics. With each picture you are given a choice
of four words, all from that topic. Click on the correct word to win the money. Answer all fifteen
questions correctly and you will win a million euros (only pretend !).
Hangman
In this version of the traditional Hangman game, the computer selects words from any of the 78 topics.
Jigsaw
Try to guess what the picture is with as few pieces of the puzzle in place as possible.
