Airport

The Airport is an activity and location in JumpStart Pre-K.

Location
The Airport is one of the buildings in the Pre-K Town. Clicking on it from the main town screen takes the player to a closeup of the building with several interactive spots, and causes the Airport Song to play. Clicking on the building will then take the player to the activity.

Activity
The player must fly the plane through certain clouds according to the instructions. The player can move the plane up and down by clicking on the up and down arrows on the plane's dashboard, or by using the up and down arrow keys. The clouds will have different shapes with different colors on them.

There is also a "coloring mode", which allows the player to customize the plane with different colors and patterns. This mode can be accessed by clicking on the painting icon on the plane's dashboard. The airplane can also have different appearances, which is determined randomly at the beginning of the activity session.

Digital manual description
Keep the skies friendly by popping the clouds that don't belong.

Object: Navigate the airplane so that it touches the clouds that contain a different shape from the one shown in the center of the control panel. Levels: As the difficulty level increases, you must pop more balloons with a greater variety of colors and shapes in them. Rewards: When your plane touches a cloud that doesn't belong, it will pop and disappear. When you have popped all of the clouds that don't belong, watch for your plane to do some fancy flying! If you do a good job, you'll earn a star! When you have all four stars, you'll earn a visit to the Park for a special reward. Free play: To decorate the skies instead of playing the game, click on the Paint Bucket in the control panel at the bottom of the screen. Educational benefits: This activity gives your child practice in discriminating between different patterns. It exercises motor skills as your child navigates the plane up and down using the arrow buttons. The free play mode lets your child express his or her creativity.
 * Look at the shape shown in the center of the control panel at the bottom of the screen. Your job is to help the airplane fly through all the clouds that contain a shape different from the one in the control panel. Click anywhere to start the game.
 * Click on the Up Arrow in the control panel or press the up arrow on the keyboard to make the plane fly higher.
 * Click on the Down Arrow in the control panel or press the down arrow on the keyboard to make the plane fly lower.
 * The control panel at the bottom of the screen shows four pattern buttons and eight color buttons.
 * Click on any of the pattern buttons and any of the color buttons. Then click on the object you want to decorate.
 * When you've finished coloring, click on one of the level selection bars in the bottom left corner of the screen to return to play mode. The clouds you decorate will remain colored.

Trivia

 * The digital manual description has a few errors. Clouds are once referred to as balloons, and the coloring mode is stated to have eight color buttons when there are actually only six.
