Junior Classic Games is a selection of familiar activities for early elementary school-aged children. It’s like having your very own activity book right in your Nintendo DS.

Games on this collection include jigsaw puzzles, memory matching, rhythm, music, & sound, spot the difference, word search, simple Sudoku, jump-a-peg, and many more. There are 30 games in all, and they all have a jungle animal motif. All the activities have three levels of difficulty, so the game grows with your child’s skills. Many of the games require basic reading, math, and other learning abilities, so it’s a bit educational as well.

Reading skill is helpful for the text instructions before each game. Some activities are easy to figure out even without words, while a couple are just a little bit too confusing regardless. The touch screen controls are intuitive and work well. Most of the games are decent and playable, and while they won’t hold the interest of an older gamer, younger players around Kindergarten through fourth grade should enjoy this. Junior Classic Games is rated E for Everyone.
