The Closet is an activity in JumpStart Spanish. It is intended to teach Spanish words for clothing and accessories.
Gameplay[]
On level 1, the player can easily and freely dress a certain bear at the right. The only objective is learning the Spanish words. Two mice help by displaying certain articles of clothing. On the top line (a clothesline with a crank), one mouse displays torso and hip clothes. On the bottom line (a conveyor belt with a button to make it move forward and stop it), the other mouse displays any other article of clothing, such as accessories (like ribbons, belts, scarves, and glasses), footwear, and head wear.
Clicking on the hanger icon causes the player to start over with an undressed bear. The gender of the bear changes each time.
The player can click the printer icon to print a picture of the bear in the clothing that bear is currently wearing.
On level 2, the player has to click on the requested article of clothing. If that piece is not shown, the player must click on whichever mouse can reveal that article, and then he will either turn the crank or operate the conveyor belt. Once the correct piece is shown and the player is congratulated, the article will automatically appear on the bear. When every correct piece is added to the bear, a teddy bear dressed like him or her will be put on the shelf above the clothesline, and a gold star will be added to it. If this is not the player's fifth gold star, then a new round starts.
