Farmer MacDonald's Barn

Farmer MacDonald's Barn is an activity in JumpStart Learning Games Phonics.

Description
Hattie Hen will hold up a card with an object/word on it, and ask the player to catch things that have either the same beginning sound or ending sound as the object/word on her card. Rip Rat will begin pushing objects out of the loft, and the player must move a basket with the mouse to try to catch the ones that Hattie Hen wants.

When the player collects four correct objects, a "boo-boo strip" will be earned. A total of four boo-boo strips can be earned by playing multiple rounds of the activity, after which the player will additionally obtain a clue for the Look and Listen Window.

 * Using your mouse, move the basket to catch only those falling objects whose names begin or end with the same sound as the word or object on Hattie Hen's card, according to her instructions.
