Franklin the Turtle's Dancing Game

He spins and he moves his head, arms, and legs. He's a. . . dancing turtle? Exactly! Help Franklin groove to the beat.

Watch Franklin every day on Nick Jr.

Gameplay requires the use of the mouse.

This game requires only one player.

Music not only enhances creativity, imagination, and self-expression; it also bolsters language (through lyrics, sounds, and rhyme) and math (through rhythm and dynamics).

By thinking up ways to tackle a problem, then trying out these strategies, children sharpen language, mental imagery, reasoning, and memory skills simultaneously.

Ages: 2-4

Franklin is moving and grooving in this game. Your little choreographer will get a kick out of making his favorite turtle dance and then dance some more. Use the mouse to control the four buttons to the right, which control his spin, his head, his arms, and legs. The buttons for his head, arms, and legs have three to five moves each, and you can also click on the stereo in the background to the left to change the beat.

Parent Tip: This is a game without any real levels; the goal is to play with the different buttons and see how they make Franklin do different dance moves.
