Wild Planet Hyper Dash - Fun And Educational Too !

By Ledley Withenshaw

In combining both educational and physical activity, the Wild Planet Hyper Dash game is a fun game for the entire family. Children from six to eleven can play the game as well as adults. The game promotes learning, memory, and physical activity that many children are missing on a regular basis.

The hand-held command control is very easy to hold. It has a grip that contains the micro-transmitter and receiver that speaks clearly and audibly. The disks also have transmitters and receivers so that when a disk is retrieved using the controller it can tell if the correct disk has been picked up. The five disks can be placed in areas up to one hundred feet from the controller. They may be hidden throughout a room or yard to make the game more exciting. The disks of the Wild Planet Hyper Dash game are brightly colored and have numbers clearly printed on them. They have transmitters and receivers built into them that link each disk to the controller.

There are several modes for playing. A child may easily select the individual play mode and the controller will keep time and score for retrieving the disks correctly. There is also a mode for pairs play. The controller keeps score for each player and the commands are given separately for players responding. The team mode allows up to eight people to play in a relay mode. The controller keeps score for teams or individuals in this mode. The Wild Planet Hyper Dash game provides players with the opportunity to be physically active while increasing their memory and educational skill levels. Parents find that playing this game together is a wonderful way to teach children about playing, learning, and working together.

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.

Numbers are another important part of early education. The Wild Planet Hyper Dash game has a level that randomly calls out the numbers one through five. Children must find the correct disk and receive points for the correct disk and length of time it took them to find the disk.

The memory level of the Wild Planet Hyper Dash game uses commands that involved identifying colors and numbers. The commands may include finding two colors and a number in order. Or, one may be asked to find a series of numbers and colors and retrieve them in reverse order. This level increases identification and memory skills in both young children and older children.

Wild Planet Hyper Dash's hardest level involves addition and subtraction. Players solve these problems and retrieve the disks that contain the answer to the problem. The problems can involve answers up to two digits and players must retrieve the disks in the order of the answer. When the disks are also hidden throughout a room, this involves both being able to solve a problem quickly, but also finding the appropriate disk or disks that have been hidden.
