Sketch Pad

The Sketch Pad is an activity in JumpStart Spanish. It is intended to teach the numbers from 1-10 in Spanish.

Gameplay
On level 1, the player can freely click around to learn the names of numbers in Spanish.

On level 2, the player must listen to a number spoken in Spanish, and then select the correct number of items and place them on a shelf. Then the player must click on the mouse to evaluate if the number of items chosen was correct. Then all of the items that the player chose are counted and each one plays an animation before going into the Magician Mouse's magic hat. If you place a slice of cheese in any amount on the shelf (The animation is the cheese slices turning into a crescent moon), the mouse will move too and the pieces of cheese are eaten by him and he will rub his tummy instead of clapping like the other objects that go into the hat. After getting five correct answers, the player earns a star. Then an additional mode starts where the player must move a hat back and forth with the computer mouse to catch falling objects. The objects are counted as the player catches them. The player can catch up to ten objects. If you successfully catch all 10 items, there will be a special cinematic of the Magician Mouse making something appear.
