Smarty Pants
Explore different expressions, gestures and emotions with this fun program. Pick a character then choose an expression for him or her to act out. Choose from happy, sad, angry, laughing, afraid, tired or embarrassed. Also make the character express 'yuck', craziness, or blowing a raspberry. There are four characters to choose from (two male and two female). Use a mouse, or one or two switches.
Switch Use: Set your interface box so your switch acts like the space bar. Alternatively you can use two switches that act like the space bar and the Enter key. (See the parents section for more information about switch use.)

Rebecca:
Great fun and wonderful to have all the options of setting up switches etc as first step. Younger and older students find it very amusing and there's scope for doing lots more... would love to see more actions... Thank you Chris!

@ Jo Greenwell : Thankyou for your feedback. After testing it on a number of machines i do not seem to be able to reenact what you have described. If you could email to me with more details info@helpkidzlearn.com i would very much appreciate it.
Jo Greenwell:
Hi, Lovely game but on a single switch I can't activate the more button , it just wraps back to the first button on the left.
Cara:
I work with special needs students and they love this game! I also love your website! Thank you!
john:
um i can know this game now its just to play i have to press the symbots in the boottom in the screen! thats how to play!
Chris@HKL:
@ john : This activity is simply, "Choose an expression or action from the symbols". Select one of the symbols at the bottom of the screen to make your character perform that specific animation. This game can be very useful, for example: when trying to determine how your child feels about a specific event or classroom activity.
