<div dir="ltr">Hi,
<div>This is Komal Parmaar (IRC - parmaarK)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Kindly review the following ideas and give suggestions </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1. Safety measures activity - The aim of this would be to
learn the safety measures for everyday activities. This will
include the following:</div>
<div><b> Road Crossing - </b>vehicles would be there on
the road and the child has to cross the road taking all the
proper measures like crossing only when there is no traffic on
the road, through the zebra crossing, and not to run on the
road or walk very slowing, etc. Once he crosses the road
without fail (accident/improper behavior), he clears the
level. The traffic and type of roads will become complex with
each level.</div>
</div>
</blockquote>
I am not a big fan of this kind of activity, it would have to manage
many cultural differences, requires a lot of graphism for a poor
added value.<br>

<div> <b>Electricity handling - </b>This would include the
way a child handles electrical gadgets. Clean hands (not wet),
usage of plugs and sockets and switches. This activity could
allow the child to follow the instruction to set a lamp (say).
If he puts the plug to the socket properly and then switches
on the lamp, then +1 level. If switched on before plugging,
then do it again. (This is just an example, can be fine tuned)</div>
</div>
</blockquote>
Same as before.<br>

</div>
<div>2. Reading a calendar - Just like reading the clock
activity. A date would be flashed on the screen and the child
has to play with the calendar and go to the exact date. The
levels : just the month, then the date, then day, year, leap
year, etc.</div>
</div>
</blockquote>
Interesting, we miss something to teach dates. I really like the
idea we miss that.<br>

</div>
<div>3. Food chain - A simple activity to demonstrate the
working of food chains. There would be animal (or participants
of the food chain), and there would be boxes with arrows (An
empty food chain). Once the child drags the participants to
their positions in the chain of boxes, the participants would
animate to form the food chain eating each other. In case the
highest level animal stay in the end of animation (balanced
food chain), the level completes, else error and the child has
to do it again.</div>
</div>
</blockquote>
There is something to do in this area if we don't do a puzzle out of
it. I expect something more live than just dragging items in the
proper place.<br>

</div>
<div>4. Improvements in Baby Wordprocessor - Would like to
extend this to add features like Bold, Italics, Underlined,
change the font color, font size (in addition to the Title,
Paragraph and subtitle), font style etc.</div>
</div>
</blockquote>
It was just a design decision to force children to use styles and
not have manual formatting. Perhaps not a wise one but it's my
attempt to help people understand and use styles. Better start
sooner.<br>

<div>5. Half words - A word is sliced into half (from the middle
- horizontally) and only one half is shown. The child has to
guess the word correctly and either type in or I can provide
the missing pieces of each letter and the child could just
drag the piece together to make the full word.</div>
</div>

This one is interesting, we miss activities in the reading / writing
area.<br>
