Product information
"'WordMania is a really useful program that will undoubtedly appeal to children and teachers alike. The competitive interest ... is attractive and the gameplay addictive - effective revision for what can be a rather dry curriculum area." - TEEM

WordMania 3 (ages 11-14) encourages pupils to practise Language skills while navigating mazes alone or in competition with friends on a school network or even via the Internet.

They win points by answering revision questions on Spelling, Punctuation, Grammar and Comprehension, Vocabulary and the Use of English, in order to get past maze obstacles and outwit other players who may unexpectedly get in their way. With enough points to leave a maze, pupils can explore another, or win bonus points by tackling word puzzles such as Spelling Pong, Deciphering Codes, Crosswords, Sliding Blocks and Grammar Nibbles. WordMania 3:
  • monitors pupils from within the game
  • includes maze design software and a custom question writer
  • prints worksheets to be completed away from the computer
  • is fully configurable - enable particular topics and puzzles

Supplied with
  • Quick Start Guide
  • Handbook
  • Questions, Puzzles & Classroom Guide
  • 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 ...

"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
