Skywriting is an activity in JumpStart Math for Kindergartners. It is designed to teach number and shape recognition at a kindergarten level.

Premise[]

The player can draw various numbers and shapes in the sky with a plane's contrails.

Description[]

The player must first choose the number or shape they wish to draw. The player can choose from the numbers one through ten, and from five shapes: circle, square, rectangle, triangle, and diamond.

Once a number or shape is picked, a set of balloons forming the outline of that number or shape will appear. The player must then move a plane over each balloon in the correct order for its contrails to form the number or shape.

Once the player has finished drawing a number or shape, they will hear a short song about one of Guthry's past birthdays related to that number or shape. The player earns one reward per drawing completed.
