Alphabet Soup. This large bowl of soup may not fill your tummy,
but it is sure to fill your brain with knowledge. When you see the bowl
of alphabet soup I want you to slowly move your mouse over each letter.

enjoyed that bowl of soup, but how about a little more action. Lets go
over to The
Learning Planet and see if we can't find something a little more
exciting. When you get to the learning planet click on the green arrow
to begin the game. Once the game begins you choose the letter by using
your mouse to click on the letter.

Street and look for letters. Big Bird, Bert, and Ernie are all
waiting just for you. Lets see what the whole crew is up to. When you get
to Sesame Street you will have to click your mouse on the red ABC sign
to begin the game. Then you have to click on one of the pictures in the
frame to begin. You will have to look hard to find the hidden letters.
When you find the hidden letter click your mouse on it.
