Shrek Swamp Fun with Phonics is an educational side-scroller for kids. As Shrek, the goal is to navigate around the Shrek-inspired swamp or castle, jumping on ledges and and collecting the appropriate item for that activity.

Curriculum covers several difficulty/skill levels, from finding all the capital Ls and lowercase rs, to all the words that start with H or Cl, to all 3 syllable words or words that come after ogre in the dictionary.

If the player collects too many wrong answers, Shrek will get tired and lie down for a little rest. There are also printable certificates of completion. [source:mobygames]
