Smarty Pants
Explore different expressions, gestures and emotions with this fun program. Pick a character then choose an expression for him or her to act out. Choose from happy, sad, angry, laughing, afraid, tired or embarrassed. Also make the character express 'yuck', craziness, or blowing a raspberry. There are four characters to choose from (two male and two female). Use a mouse, or one or two switches.
Switch Use: Set your interface box so your switch acts like the space bar. Alternatively you can use two switches that act like the space bar and the Enter key. (See the parents section for more information about switch use.)

The emotions at the bottom are random when you click the more button. It might be nice if you can simply cycle through the emotions.
Laura:
this is fantastic - a couple of my ASD kids are enjoying matching emotions as worksheets while we have fun 'doing the faces together' - I will report back how they get on with this online..

I've been without Smart Alex for years and missed him terribly. Thank you for resurrecting him / her. Wonderful fun for all our children (and staff!)

@ john : This activity is simply, "Choose an expression or action from the symbols". Select one of the symbols at the bottom of the screen to make your character perform that specific animation. This game can be very useful, for example: when trying to determine how your child feels about a specific event or classroom activity.

Hi, Lovely game but on a single switch I can't activate the more button , it just wraps back to the first button on the left.
Chris@HKL::
@ Jo Greenwell : Thankyou for your feedback. After testing it on a number of machines i do not seem to be able to reenact what you have described. If you could email to me with more details info@helpkidzlearn.com i would very much appreciate it.
Rebecca:
Great fun and wonderful to have all the options of setting up switches etc as first step. Younger and older students find it very amusing and there's scope for doing lots more... would love to see more actions... Thank you Chris!
