Choose and Tell: Legends

The program has lots of fun decisions to be made:

Who do you want a story about? screenshot
Choose a Character

First, select your hero! Choose from Sir Lancelot, Jason (of the Argonauts), the Pharaoh, Rama or Hiawatha.

Having chosen a character, you will hear some appropriate music. The voiceover will then say that your hero has lost his love - can you help him go on a quest to find her?

How will they travel?

Choose from a horse, an elephant, a royal barge, the ship Argo or a canoe.

The computer will randomly select from these to offer the learner three things to choose from (this can be reduced to two if required). You do not need to choose the mode of transport that matches the character.

Finding Treasure

If the hero is lucky, they will find treasure behind their chosen door and they will progress straight to level 2.






Then, the character will have to choose another door or pathway and may be faced with further questions or treasure before progressing to Level 3 of the game.

At the end of the game the learner will see a summary of the treasure they have collected and monsters they have encountered.

At the end of the game the learner can choose to see their story again. This option will replay their story, without the decision-making screens.
