Product information
"Today, at lunch, one of my raising achievement students brought his friend in to play on WordMania. They played against each other all lunchtime AND other students joined in when they saw how they could play against each other – this feature really IS motivating. - Simon Midgley, Rhyddings School

Immersed in an easy-to-use but suitably challenging maze-world, children revise English by answering WordMania questions on Spelling, Punctuation, Grammar and Comprehension to win points, clear maze obstacles and to outwit rivals. Five multi-level Literacy puzzles (see screen images) are also provided in this popular language pack.

Shortlisted by BETT Awards judges for its ‘novel take on the use of technology, using an attractive games approach similar to games played at home’, WordMania motivates individual and group learning. In ‘multi-player’ mode (optional), they play against each other, perhaps dropping ‘question bombs’ to hinder classmates progress! High Score tables are continuously updated, work is tracked and worksheets can be printed at pre-set difficulty levels. Wordmania:
  • monitor pupils progress
  • includes a Maze Designer and Custom Question Writer so that teachers and parents can fine-tune work
  • prints worksheets to be completed away from the computer
  • is fully configurable - define the topics and puzzles available

Supplied with
  • Quick Start Guide
  • Handbook
  • Questions, Puzzles & Classroom Guide
  • Question Topics sheet
  • Maze Design sheet
Reviews and quotes
"'WordMania is a really useful program that will undoubtedly appeal to children and teachers alike. The additional competitive interest generated through multiplayer capability is an attractive option, and as a single user, the gameplay style is addictive whilst providing effective revision material for what can be a rather dry Curriculum area." - TEEM ...

"I would like to say how impressed I am with Topologika's service throughout all my transactions and do not hesitate to recommend you to others. Thanks again." - Jane Sampson (parent and teacher)

"Today, at lunch, one of my raising achievement students brought his friend in to play on WordMania. They played against each other all lunchtime AND other students joined in when they saw how they could play against each other – this feature really IS motivating. I wonder if they realise they’re learning some quite boring (normally) language facts?" - Simon Midgley, Rhyddings School
