It can be represented in numeral form, or via a group of objects adding up to the desired total (e.g. The Count’s mission is, thereafter, to find the aforementioned number amidst those floating in the sprawling level. The premise of the game is simplicity itself: you play as the Count, and at the beginning of each level, you pick a random number from a spinning wheel. I took the game to school so that we could review numbers, and the kids had a blast. The Sesame Street Countdown classes were one such occasion. I recently took a job as an English teacher for foreign students in an elementary school, and whenever I’m not regretting my decision bitterly, I actually manage to have some fun with the kids. Which is why I took the first of these games, Sesame Street Countdown, straight to its intended audience – my first-grade English class. Plus, you must keep in mind that they are not, in fact, aimed at a jaded, snide, sarcastic twentysomething geek anyway. The fact that the games are actually not bad didn’t dispute this. In fact, there is abundant evidence to support that it’s impossible to slam Sesame Street. “Oh, great, games for babies! This is going to be fun!”, I thought. Which brings us to today’s retro review.Ī while ago, while perusing for something to bash in writing, I came across two Sesame Street titles for the Nintendo Entertainment System. There were books, feature films, t-shirts, stuffed toys and even videogames. As a result, a slew of Sesame Street-related merchandise was released in subsequent years. Of course, station execs were not indifferent to the show’s monumental success.
SESAME STREET GAMES TV
Plus, it was on TV! As a kid, anything that can make you parents let you watch TV is welcome, right? As a result, at least half of the world’s twenty- and thirtysomethings can claim to have first heard the alphabet recited by Kermit the Frog, and the same amount can tell you by heart the lyrics to “One of These Things is Not Like The Others.”

The show was great, serving as a surrogate teacher for toddlers the world over, present writer included. Isn’t childhood great?! At home, the Count likes to kick back with his beloved numbers. Oh, and there was also Ernie and Bert, those bed-sharing, griping-like-a-married-couple, rainbow-rights activists. Anyone who has ever been a kid remembers the kiddy show where Big Bird, Grover, Elmo, Kermit, the Count and the Cookie Monster taught us our ABC’s.
