down on the trackball.

GAME 1 – WORD MIX

OBJECT: Create as many words as possible from the

scrambled letters

You’ll need some extra paper for this game. The game begins

when a player spins the trackball to scramble up a collection

of 7 letters. Now all players have 2 minutes to spell as many

words as they can from the scrambled letters on the screen.

Write as many words as you can form from the scrambled

letters. When the timer expires, each player counts up their

words, scoring them using the following scoring method.

2 letter words – 5 points

3 letter words – 10 points

4 letter words – 20 points

5 or more letters – 50 points

GAME 2 – WORD SCRAMBLE

OBJECT: Unscramble the scrambled word

First, players need to pick a 1 or 2 player game. The game

begins when one player spins the trackball to activate the

“letter scrambler”. The screen will now display a scrambled

word and all players must try to unscramble the letters to

solve the puzzle. Each player will take a turn unscrambling

the word, using the trackball to scroll through the letters of

the alphabet. To choose a letter, scroll through all of the

available letter choices and press down on the trackball.

If player 1 makes a wrong guess, player 2 will take a turn. The

player who successfully unscrambles the scrambled word wins

the round.

GAME 3 – WONDER WORDS

OBJECT: Guess the hidden word

This game plays like the traditional game HANGMAN. Players

take turns guessing letters to try to solve the word puzzle. The

game begins when one player spins the trackball. This will

scramble up the four puzzle categories. One of them will be

randomly chosen, and a word from that category will be

randomly selected . The puzzle categories are:

Places

Animals

Foods

Things

Now the hidden word puzzle is selected, and a number of

blank spaces will appear on screen. Players need to try to solve

the puzzle by guessing letters from the alphabet. Each player

will have 7 chances. Each time a wrong letter is chosen, that

player will lose a chance, and the other player will take a turn.

When a player guesses a correct letter, it will appear in the

spaces on the screen. To solve the puzzle, move the trackball

under each letter space, press the enter button (DOWN on

the trackball), and scroll through the alphabet. When all

correct letters are in place, press DOWN on the trackball

again. The game will automatically register whether the

word is correct or not. The first player to solve the word

puzzle wins that round.

GAME 4 – WORD MIX (in Spanish)

OBJECT: Create as many words as possible from the

scrambled letters

This game plays the same as GAME 1, but this time, players

need to create Spanish language words. The game begins

when a player spins the trackball to scramble up a collection

of 7 letters. Now all players have 2 minutes to spell as many

words as they can from the scrambled letters on the screen.

Write as many words as you can form from the scrambled

letters. When the timer expires, each player counts up their

words, scoring them using the following scoring method.

2 letter words – 5 points

3 letter words - 10 points

4 letter words – 20 points

5 or more letters - 50 points

GAME 5 – WORD SCRAMBLE (in Spanish)

OBJECT: Unscramble the scrambled word

This game plays exactly like GAME 2, but instead of

unscrambling English language words, the players need to

unscramble Spanish language words. First, players need to

pick a 1 or 2 player game. The game begins when one player

spins the trackball to activate the letter scrambler. The screen

will now display a scrambled word and all players must try to

unscramble the letters to solve the word puzzle. Each player

will take a turn unscrambling the word, using the trackball to

scroll through the letters of the alphabet. To choose a letter,

scroll through all of the available letter choices and press

down on the trackball.

If player 1 makes a wrong guess, player 2 will take a turn.

The player who successfully unscrambles the scrambled word

wins the round.

GAME 6 – WONDER WORDS (in Spanish)

OBJECT: Guess the hidden word

This game plays just like Game 3 above, but all words and

word puzzle categories are in Spanish! The game begins

when one player spins the trackball. This will scramble up the

four puzzle categories. One of them will be randomly

chosen, and a word from that category will be randomly

selected from a pool. The puzzle categories are

Places

Animals

Foods

Things

Now the hidden word puzzle is selected, and a number of

blank spaces will appear on screen. Players need to try to

solve the puzzle by guessing letters from the alphabet. Each

player will have 7 chances. Each time a wrong letter is

chosen, that player will lose a chance, and the other player

will take a turn. When a player guesses a correct letter, it will

appear in the spaces on the screen. To solve the puzzle, move

the trackball under each letter space, press the enter button

(DOWN on the trackball) , and scroll through the alphabet.

When all correct letters are in place, press DOWN on the

trackball again. The game will automatically register whether

the word is correct.
