I Spy School Days

The I Spy series covers ages three to 10 with three different programs. We tested I Spy School Days, suitable for ages five to 10. It's quick to install and easy to start using. School Days consists of a selection of nine games aimed at identifying objects. For example, there are I Spy-style games where you look for objects and click on them. There are also games where you drag and drop objects to sort them or move them to different parts of the screen. You can even make up your own games.

The range of objects to identify is very useful for learning, although a little difficult to see on screen at times. Explanations of how to use the main screen and complete each game are good, with spoken instructions via a screen button. Some of the instructions are given in rhyme, which is a fun touch.

School Days has personal elements too. Your child's name is entered when they start using the program and displayed at times throughout the games.

And if you quit a game and then return to it, the game will continue where you left off.
