Everybody loves the circus and children will have a great time learning about adjectives and opposites in this exciting environment.

This lively, engaging program uses seven activities to help your students learn the adjectives, attributes and opposites they need to enrich their language. The program also helps reinforce vocabulary and basic concepts.

Animals, clowns and acrobats are used to train over 115 vocabulary items and 26 pairs of opposites. Seven activities give you a variety of training options to accommodate a wide range of children. These activities include two-picture instruction, open-ended exploration and full screen identification.

Two-Picture Instruction

The Two-Picture format provides direct instruction on 38 nouns and 26 pairs of opposites. Three levels of training are available with instruction, cuing, and feedback. You can set the program to train all of the words or select specific items to be targeted.

Open-Ended Exploration

The Exploring Activities provide learners with opportunities for open-ended exploration of over 115 vocabulary items. You can choose to display only the objects in the main ring (14-20 items per scene) or the audience as well (10-20 additional items).

Full-Screen Identification

In the Identification activities, children are asked to identify objects in the six full-screen scenes. If a child answers correctly, the object animates. You can set the program to ask the child all of the items within a scene or choose specific items to target.

Seven Activities Available

• Train Vocabulary
  Two nouns appear on the screen and the child is asked to identify one of them (“Find the bear.”)
  
• Train Opposites
  Two pictures of the same noun appear and the child is asked to identify each of them (“Which elephant is young?” and “Which elephant is old?”).
  
• Explore Vocabulary
  In this full scene activity, the child clicks on any item and the computer says what it is (“This is a clown.”).
  
• Explore Adjectives
  A child clicks on any object in the full-screen scene and the computer gives a description of it (“This seal is heavy.”).
  
• Explore Opposites
  A child clicks on any object in the scene and the computer gives its description (“This lion is asleep.”). Then the computer identifies its opposite (“And this lion is awake.”).
  
• Identify Adjectives
  The computer asks the child to identify an object based on its attributes (“Which clown is happy?”).
  
• Identify Opposites
  The computer asks the child to identify an item (“Which trainer is a man?”) and then find its opposite (“Which trainer is a woman?”)
