Getting to Know Professor Oliver Owl...
* The game is set in demo mode. Before you can play, you have to
exit this mode by sliding the ON/OFF switch, on the back of Professor
Oliver Owl's log, to OFF.
* If your child is still learning the alphabet, you might try the Sing
Along game. Your child will have fun singing along with Professor
Oliver Owl while practicing letter skills.
* Beginners will find it easier to play the ABC Game with the tiles
letter-side up. For a bigger challenge, flip the tiles letter-side down.
* It's okay if your child doesn't get it right on the first try. Let your child
keep going until he/she does find the letter and then move on.
* As you read on, watch for special hints. They'll help to make the
game a little easier for younger players.

ABC Sing Along Game
Practice the alphabet by singing the ABC song.

ABC song. You can use the letter tiles and gameboard

ABC Game
Complete the alphabet by finding the
letters Professor Oliver Owl asks for.
Press the BLUE ladybug to play the ABC Game.
There are two ways to play. If you're just learning your letters, play with the
tiles, letter-side up. If you already know your alphabet, test your memory by
playing with the tiles, letter-side down. Note: If you miss what Professor Oliver
Owl says, press the LEAF button and he will repeat it.

Press down on Professor Oliver Owl's arm to tell him that you're ready.
The youngest player starts. Listen closely! Professor Oliver Owl will ask you to
find a letter; then he'll give you a hint to help you find it. Each tile shows a
letter and a picture of the hint he'll give you.
Look at the tiles and find the one Professor Oliver Owl
asked for. When you find it, place it on the matching
gameboard space and then press down on Professor
Oliver Owl's arm. Now let the next player try.
MOM: The letter tiles and their gameboard
spaces match in color so you can find them faster.
The word apple starts
with the letter A.
You have until the music stops to find the letter. If the music stops before you find it,
let the next player try. Professor Oliver Owl will repeat the letter you're looking for.
MOM: When the music stops, Professor Oliver Owl will say, “Let's try
that again” If your child wants to keep looking for the letter, let him/her
and then move on to the next player after the letter has been found.
Keep taking turns until there are only 5 tiles left (the Z and the 4 blank ones).
Now let's play a little Hide and Seek. Turn the remaining tiles over so you
can't tell which is which, and mix them up.
On your turn, turn over ONE of the tiles. If you found the Z, congratulations!
You've just completed the alphabet. Place the Z on the matching gameboard
space and press Professor Oliver Owl's arm. Now sing along to the ABC song!
If you didn't turn over the 7, leave the tile turned over and let the next player
try. Keep taking turns until someone finds the Z to complete the alphabet.
Advanced ABC Game: If you already know your alphabet...
Place all of the tiles (induding the 4 blank ones) off to the side of the game-
board and mix them up. Remember: these tiles are letter-side down! Press
down on Professor Oliver Owl's arm when you're ready.
The oldest player goes first. Play then passes to the left.
Professor Oliver Owl will ask you to find a letter. You get two chances to find
it. Turn over any ONE letter tile.
+ If the tile is the same as the one Professor Oliver Owl asked for, put it on
the matching gameboard space and press Professor Oliver Owl's arm. This
ends your turn.
* |F you don't find it on your first try, you get a second chance. Your turn ends
after your second try. If you didn't find the right letter, turn the tiles back over
(letter-side down) and press either one of the ladybugs to let the next player
