Challenge your children to a journey of fun and discovery - and improve your maths and English skills at the same time, through our NEW interactive game, The Legula Adventure.
The game combines maths and English based puzzles with the colour, adventure and excitement you'd expect from any top children's computer game, with tasks for both you and your children to complete (aimed at children aged 7 years old and upwards).
It's FREE to play at www.thelegulaadventure.co.uk.
Here are a couple of examples of the tasks within the Adventure to give you a feel for the challenges ahead:
Rearrange the letters on this sign to make it read correctly.
Arrange coins into order of value to complete this task.
Combine the activity of reading together with the interaction kids love from playing games.
What’s the story?
Your quest is based around exploring the island together to find and return the crystals to defeat the island rogue Dantor and free the islanders, called the Endellow. To do this, you must work together with your child to solve puzzles and complete island tasks.
A bit at a time...
The game is divided into stages and can save where you get to. This allows you and your child to pick up where you last finished, so you can fit the fun of learning around your family time.
If you wish to pass on any task you can do this, and move onto the next part of the story.
Polishing your skills
If you find you're getting stuck due to your maths and English skills being a little rusty, then learndirect can help you improve with a range of courses (some of which can be funded, and could lead to a qualification).
If you enjoy playing The Legula Adventure with your children, why not also grab your FREE copy of 'Where Did the River Go?' Packed with games and puzzles, this special children's storybook will help test your maths and English skills, without taking the pleasure out of reading with your children.

Media Review
"With its narrative thrust, fun script and stylised environments, I was actually quite engaged by this....It's a nice idea"
