Hi,

I am not a big fan of this but why not. This seems more like an activity
that can be played and used to be played on paper. I believe that with a
computer in hand we should find more educational use than just mimicking
the paper.

We already have it in the 'fifteen' activity.

We have it in 'readingh' and 'readingv'. As GCompris grows it becomes
harder and harder to to something new.

Too gamish to me. I am fine adding activities that are more game
orientated but it needs to but more educational than that.

Please focus a little bit more on the goal of GCompris, on what we have
done and on the idea we have listed. This will help you make a better
proposal.

Bruno.
