Wild Planet Hyper Dash - Fun And Educational Too !

By Ledley Withenshaw

Wild Planet Hyper Dash provides hours of fun for the entire family. The game is listed for children ages 6 to 11, but children and adults of all ages find that this game gives them an opportunity to play together in a physical activity that also provides many learning opportunities.

The controller of the Wild Planet Hyper Dash game is shaped like a hand-held plunger. It is brightly colored and has a micro-chip and radio transmitter that enables the person holding it to grab one of the five brightly colored and number disks. These disks provide the activity for the game and can be placed up to one hundred feet apart. There is a radio transmitter and receiver in each so an individual must pick up the correct disk for the controller to acknowledge a score. The disks can be placed under or behind objects to make the game even more fun for the players.

The Wild Planet Hyper Dash game is set up so that it can be played by individuals or groups of up to 8 people. These people can play in pairs or as teams. The controller keeps score and times so that everyone knows where they are at in the game at all times. This is a unique and fun way to increase physical activity in a home and add to a child's educational skill level. Hyper Dash offers fun for the entire family and a way to increase the activity level of both children and adults.

For many young children learning primary colors is an important part of early education. The level one mode teaches children yellow, green, blue, red, and orange. As the colors are called by the controller a child must select the corresponding disk and retrieve it. The child then gets points for the correct disks chosen. The colors are called randomly so that a child develops both their learning and memory skills.

The second level of Wild Planet Hyper Dash provides uses the numbers one through five to teach number skills. Players must retrieve the disk that the controller identifies and receives points for getting the right disk. When the wrong disk is selected the controller tells the player what the number is that has been selected and what the number is that must be retrieved. This provides further assistance with increasing recognition and memory for young children.

The controller provides multiple commands in the third level of Wild Planet Hyper Dash. Players are asked to retrieve multiple disks based on randomly selected numbers and colors. The command may have the player retrieve the disks in the order commanded or in reverse order. There may be a double reverse command which includes retrieving two disks in reverse order then a triple reverse which will require retrieval of three disks in reverse order.

When a player selects level four of the Wild Planet Hyper Dash game they are asked to solve addition and subtraction problems while running for the disk that contains the correct answer. This teaches not only math, but sharpens the ability to think on your feet quickly. - 31409
