Noddy: Let's Get Ready for School!

Noddy: Lets Get Ready For School is a collection of mini games for young children. It uses Noddy, Big Ears and other Toyland characters to teach numbers, shapes, pattern and colour recognition e.t.c. Each activity has two mini games, when a game is completed Noddy is rewarded with silver sixpences that can be spent at the Toyland fair. The activities are;

• Master Tubby Bear's Birthday. Tubby Bear says Noddy can only come to his party if he helps him do his homework. This is a spelling game where a picture such as a cat, bat, or ball is shown and the player has to select the correct letters to spell the word. After this Big Ears appears and Tubby and Noddy dance to his radio, this is a 'Simon Says' style game.
• A Stormy Day In Toyland: After a Stormy night the hens have escaped from Straw's Farm, Noddy must catch them putting the each hen into the hen house of the same colour. The second game takes place in the town where Noddy mends Mister Wobbly Man's house by putting shaped bricks into the holes in the walls
• A Cold Day In Toyland: Big Ears has come round to Noddy's house to make some warming soup but he forgot the ingredients. Noddy rides to Big Ear's house on Master Tubby Bear's sledge. Along the way there are numbers and obstacles. If the number on the ground matches the overhead banner then Noddy can proceed, If they do not match or if there is an obstacle blocking the way a click on the mouse is needed to help Noddy swerve to avoid it. The second mini game is 'Musical Icicles' which is another Simon Says style game
• A Hot Day In Toyland: Mr Jumbo cannot sell anything in his shop because bugs have stolen letters from his signs. Noddy helps by collecting the missing letters, for example if the sign has a picture of a car and the letters 'CA' then Noddy must retrieve the letter 'R'. The other activity is an ice cream making game where Noddy has to recreate a pattern of pipes so that the machine will work properly.
• Trouble In Toyland; The two goblins Sly and Gobbo have covered themselves with disappearing dust and are causing problems. The first activity is simple arithmetic where Noddy helps Mr. Sparks at the garage by adding up items on his bills. Later Noddy squirts the goblins with water from a hose to wash the dust off them.

All of the above earn Noddy silver sixpences which he can spend at the fair, the mini games here are;

• Funny Photos: Noddy throws pies at volunteers, when he scores a hit a photo is taken
• Test Your Strength: Noddy hits the machine with a big hammer, this mini game is a test of timing
• Skittles: The Skittle children love being knocked over so Noddy obliges.
• Mr. Plod's Record Stall: Here Noddy can select the music being played
