Note to Parents

Milton Bradley and Texas Instruments, two companies that create entertaining and educational products for your child, work together to bring you Bright Beginnings™ games. Bright Beginnings is a special software series that allows your child to discover, explore, and learn. Milton Bradley and Texas Instruments believe that video activities should do more than bring bright smiles-they should also bring bright ideas. That's why Bright Beginnings combines fun and learning so successfully.


The Bright Beginnings cartridges are designed to be age appropriate, introducing the proper learning tool at the right time in your child's life. The games encourage your child to interact with the computer as creatively as possible through exploratory learning activities.

There's something special in Bright Beginnings for you, the parent. Included in this instruction booklet is a Discovery Guide that tells you exactly what learning skills your child is developing. The Discovery Guide also goes one step further and suggests additional related activities that you and your child can do together. All of the activities include helpful hints on how to encourage your child to develop learning skills by exploring his or her environment.

Honey Hunt was developed by Joyce Hakansson Associates Inc., an independent production company. The JHA approach to fun and learning blends excellence from a number of disciplines. Their design team consists of artists, writers, musicians, child development experts, programmers, and an academic advisory board all working together to create interactive learning games that build on your child's inherent love of play.

The Theme of the Game

Discovering when events occur is what Honey Hunt, a game of skill and strategy, is all about. When playing, have your child look carefully at all the suspenseful events that occur in the meadow and see if he or she can recognize a certain pattern in them. Your child can polish up his or her prediction skills and score points, too!

Your child helps bee friends collect nectar drops from flowers ( ones with open petals). He or she can control the bee's movement with either the MBXjoystick, the TI Joystick Controllers, or the TI keyboard. Each nectar drop he or she collects is worth points. Your child avoids a dangling spider and its sticky web, and other uninvited guests in the meadow (like a big bear with a sweet tooth for honey and a dragonfly that dives and darts all over).

Have your child watch the screen closely, listen to the delightful music and sound effects, and try to discover what happens when on the Honey Hunt.
