Cemetery

The Cemetery is one of the activities in JumpStart Adventures 4th Grade: Haunted Island. It is designed to teach parts of speech - specifically, nouns, verbs, adjectives, pronouns, adverbs, conjunctions, prepositions, and interjections.

Description
In this activity, the user selects the correct parts of speech to fill in the missing portions of a spooky story written on a tombstone and save a friendly ghost from the Grim Reaper. The constructed story does not have to make sense, but must merely be grammatically sound. On the higher levels, the user does not see the story and is only given the part of speech, making the game rather like Mad Libs. The ghost who appears at the end of the game to thank the user for saving him is modeled on Rodney Dangerfield. Three (identical) ghosts must be saved to complete the activity. In fact, the ghost is actually the same, as even he notes, despite the fact Madame Pomreeda's challenge specifies that three souls must be saved.
