With Aladdin Activity Center, Disney Software brings games, puzzles and art activities based on the story and characters of the movie Aladdin. Children will learn while having fun with the help of the Genius, Aladdin, Yasmin and other characters.

The Aladdin Activity Center includes different activities that make it fun for children to learn spelling, exercise their memory and more. The first activity is a game where the Genius says an object's name and the child has to spell it correctly. Another game used to exercise the child's visual memory is a special card playing game that represent characters of the movie. With the cards facing down, the child must find the cards that match as a pair until there are no more cards left in the deck.

Many of the activities in Aladdin Activity Center are visually based. For example, kids must identify a pair of birds in a set where the number of birds in the set corresponds to the difficulty level chosen. All the birds are nearly identical and the only way to distinguish between them is the color of the feathers. It is easy in the beginning with a set of six birds but becomes tougher when there are more then ten.

Creativity is not forgotten in the program and includes a coloring section. Here, children can choose colors and paint their favorite characters, or connect the dots to discover who is the character behind them. Other games are puzzles and mazes, with the possibility to set the difficulty level for each activity. If it's too difficult, just click on the Genius, and he will provide your child with all the necessary help to continue and progress.

Conclusion:

Aladdin Activity Center will appeal to young children as well as their parents with the beloved Disney's characters. The animations are brilliant and with the music of the movie, the kids will love it. The icing on the cake is the music theater that features 6 film clips from the movie (over 100 megabytes long) and you will find yourself trapped in this theater watching over and over again excerpts of this superb cartoon.
