What to talk about

Talk to your kids
Families can talk about why SpongeBob and his friends are fun to play with. Also, parents can ask kids to name which activity they like best. Is it their favorite because of the game or because of the material that's being covered?

What's the story?

What's the story?
SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS: A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A SPONGE contains 13 activities: Nine are a part of a learning adventure, and four are located in a separate section called the Learning Zone. If kids opt to participate in the adventure, they join SpongeBob as he goes through his day; each of the things he does translates into an educational arcade game, such as pairing rhymes or solving logic problems. In the Learning Zone, activities focus on matching geometric shapes, finding differences between two photos, working with weights and measurements, and completing number sequences.

Is it any good?

Is it any good?
 
We tested this software on both the VSmile TV System and the handheld VSmile Pocket and did notice that a few of the graphics were hard to distinguish when playing on the smaller handheld version. As a result, players were sometimes unable to accomplish the game's educational objective. Overall, though, kids will enjoy diving into the large number of varied activities in SpongeBob's world -- and they'll learn something, too.

If thats what you want them to learn.....
This show teaches rude behavior, and obnoxiousness. It has no educational value at all and is just pure sugar to rott your kids brain. With all the programming options out there Im not sure why anyone would choose something like this.

WELL I THINK SPONGEBOB AND BET T.V SHOWS SHOULD BE ON TV MORE OFTEN BECAUSE THE TV SHOWS KEEPS US KIDS FOCUS ON WHAT WE SHOULD DO AND WHAT WE SHOULD NOT TO TO DO AND WHEN WE AINT DOING NOTHING WE CAN BE IN THE HOUSE LISTENING TO VIDEOS OR WATCHING KIDS MOVIES OR CARTOONS.

spongebob adventures
Spongebob is a fun show it shows where he works and how to make krabby pattys. Spongebob goes on adventures that kids would like to do like surfing, camping or jelly fishing. It's just want your kids to like adventure maybe want to become a fry cook and get money. Also hanging out with your best friend ya pal ya buddy.
