Vowel Bees is an activity in JumpStart Phonics.
Description[]
This activity has two sections: Explore and Game. In the Explore section, the player can freely click on clusters of flowers that resemble vowels to hear the sound that each vowel makes. Pierre will then say some words that include that vowel sound.
In the Game section, player must help the bees find the correct hives. Each bee will make a sound, and the player must click on the hive with the corresponding letter or word. Each time the player gets a correct answer, the bee will produce some honey and deposit it in a jar next the Pierre. After four correct answers, the jar will be full and the activity will be completed.
