Product information
WordMania 3 (ages 11-14) encourages pupils to practise their Language skills whilst navigating mazes, on their own, in competition with friends on a school network, or even with other schools via the Internet.

They win points by answering revision questions on Spelling, Punctuation, Grammar and Comprehension, Vocabulary and the Use of English, in order to get past maze obstacles and outwit other players who may unexpectedly get in their way.

With enough points to leave a maze, pupils can enter another, or win bonus points by tackling word puzzles such as Spelling Pong, Deciphering Codes, Crosswords, Sliding Blocks and Grammar Nibbles.
  • Monitor pupils from within the game
  • Includes a Maze Designer and Custom Question Writer
  • Prints worksheets to be completed away from the computer
  • Fully configurable - define the topics and puzzles pupils will meet
  • Puzzles can be played as independent problem-solving activities

 
Supplied with
  • Quick Start Guide
  • Handbook
  • Questions, Puzzles & Classroom Guide
  • Maze Design sheet
 
Reviews and quotes
"Today, at lunch, one of my raising achievement students brought his friend in to play on WordMania. They played against each other all lunchtime AND other students joined in when they saw how they could play against each other – this feature really IS motivating. I wonder if they realise they’re learning some quite boring (normally) language facts?" - Simon Midgley, Rhyddings School Click here for more...

"The graphics are excellent and ran smoothly on our Win98-based Pentium 3 machines with around 400Mb memory. Installation was a breeze and even updated our DirectX to a later version. Neat." - Simon Midgley, Rhyddings School Click here for more...

"'WordMania is a really useful program that will undoubtedly appeal to children and teachers alike. The additional competitive interest generated through multiplayer capability is an attractive option, and as a single user, the gameplay style is addictive whilst providing effective revision material for what can be a rather dry Curriculum area." - TEEM Click here for more...
