Installation. The program was very easy to install.One excellent feature of Humongous products for users who have limited disk space is that they don't take that much space. Interface. The interface is well-done and children love to see the same characters they already know from the television series. The graphics are bright, the music and rhymes are appealing to parents and children. Storyline. Blue has an interactive Word Book where she keeps her stories, but she needs to collect some words to finish the sentences. There are seven activities in Blue's ABC Time Activities, including the Word Book where children can create stories with the words they collect while playing the other six. The characters and items in the Living Room represent the activities, and children can click on anyone of them to start an activity. The activities include the following: Alphabet Maze--Shovel and Pail have created an alphabet maze in the backyard sandbox. Children need to follow the alphabet to reach them and collect words as they proceed. These activity teaches children ABC sequencing and letter identification. Bathtime Rhymes--Slippery Soap needs kids help to make some rhymes. In this activity, children can help Blue stir up the suds in the tub and watch four bubbles with pictures in them rise up. As Blue stirs up the bubbles, they are learning vocabulary words. Felt Friend's Word Puzzles--Felicia is waiting for kids to play with shapes and words. Children need to click on the scattered puzzle pieces and letters and put them into place on the outline. As each puzzle is finished, it becomes an animation. There are 20 different puzzles to play with. Good activity for letter and shape recognition. Mailtime--Mailbox has a message to deliver but there's a problem. Some of the words are missing letters. She needs help to fix them. Kids learn to identify letters and upper and lower case words when they help Blue in this activity. Safari Snapshots--The Lion Price is ready to take kids and blue on a jungle safari, and he wants to take pictures of all the animals in the alphabet. Blue has a camera but needs help finding the animals. Snacktime--Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper have been shopping but their list is torn and they need help matching the snacks to the letters on their list. This snacktime adventure emphasizes phonics, vocabulary and auditory discrimination. Blue's Word Book--Blue is creating stories to share with Steve, but she needs help with collecting words. A letter of the alphabet is earned for each correctly completed task, and words are then made from the accumulated letters. Children can visit the word book at any time where color coded words are inserted into identically coded stories. As each story is completed, Blue draws an accompanying illustration. The book pages can then be printed. This is a great pre-spelling, early vocabulary and word recognition activity.
For those parents who are concerned with teaching their children the joy of reading Blue's ABC Time Activities is a must. It puts strong emphasis on the fun of reading. Blue is a lovable dog, and each of the supporting characters possess their own unique charm. All the activities are easily understood and completed, with catchy songs and rhymes. Blue's ABC Time Activities is a great buy as well as a great investment in your child's education.

This game has debugging material.

In this game based on the popular kids show, the residents of a house of talking objects, strange-colored canines, and a live-action manchild decide to have fun with words for no explained reason. The game features multiple minigames designed to teach small children basic English. You can also collect words by playing these games, which can be used in the 'Word Book' to make your own stories, a la Mad Libs.

2Unused Graphics

Unused Subtitles

Just like with every other Humongous game ever made, this game has complete but inaccessible subtitles. They can be turned on by using ScummVM's UI or by adding the line

to hegames.ini or scummvm.ini.

Unused Graphics

Room 3

Using ScummVM's debugger (Ctrl+D) and entering the command room 3 brings up this interface. It's presumably placeholder graphics for the notebook, which doesn't appear in this game, and pawprints, which are used, but only as an icon on the launcher.

Felt Letters

To do:
Is this unused?

Felt Friend's Word Puzzles has graphics for the entire alphabet, but J, Q, V, W, Y, and Z never get used.

Big Thinkers Leftovers

A few graphics from Big Thinkers! First Grade are leftover in the graphics, suggesting this game was modified from that one.

The star cursors from both Big Thinkers! games. This game only uses the default cursor and the arrow ones.

The yes/no graphics from Big Thinkers! First Grade. Interestingly, the frog graphic seems to be an earlier version of the actual graphic from First Grade: it has no shading and is missing the spots from the final.

Pajama Sam Leftovers

Bizarrely, the load game screen for Pajama Sam can be seen by typing room 17 into ScummVM's debugger. It was very likely just a leftover from the aforementioned game. Considering the same graphics are left in Big Thinkers! Kindergarten, this further suggests that ABC Time was modified from the Big Thinkers! games, with the developers overlooking this screen yet again.

Unused Dialogue

To do:
Check for more.

In addition to the unused letter graphics (see above), Felicia Felt has sound files of her saying the letters despite them going unused.

There's even sound files of her sounding them out!

Unused Sounds

To do:
The piano scale sounds definitely aren't used, though I'm not 100% sure if the 'cartoony sounds' are.

Lots of sounds leftover from Big Thinkers! are still in the files.

Free Words!

As the screen implies, words for the Word Book can be unlocked by clicking the sign. This screen can be accessed by warping to room 15 using ScummVM. This was likely used for testing.
