Amazon River Hop

Amazon River Hop is an activity in JumpStart Advanced 2nd Grade: Fundamentals. It is designed to teach math and language arts skills at a second grade level. It appears to be an updated version of the Log Ride activity from the original JumpStart 2nd Grade.

Description
A math or language arts question appears in a box at the bottom of the screen. There are four pieces of land near the top of the screen with four possible answers to the question. CJ must be maneuvered to the correct answer.

The player moves CJ left, right, up, and down by using the arrow keys. CJ must cross the river by hopping on logs, turtles, and crocodiles without falling into the water, and land on the correct answer. Then CJ will be able to progress further up the river.

The activity has five rounds. The player receives a gadget piece after completing the fifth round.

Game Play Levels

 * Level one: The crocodiles don't open their mouths, and neither the crocodiles nor the turtles dip underwater.
 * Levels two and three: The crocodiles sometimes open their mouths, and both the crocodiles and the turtles sometimes dip underwater.
