This is a great game to have students play to help them learn and tell the difference between capitol and lowercase letters. The student is playing a rat whose friend(s) drop him letters from the sky and he tries to catch them in his basket. The computer shows you what you can not get and what you can. You will either be able to get capital letters or lower case letters. Once you know what you are to get, you must only collect those letters. If you get the wrong letter, you will lose a point. It is a rather easy game to learn. It might need to be explained the first time, but after that the students should be able to understand what to do.
