Description
Your child helps organize props and play scripts and learns about orchestra instruments by helping Mars Moose and the Adam Street Rangers produce a Shakespeare play.

Review
Complete 3 tasks at the festival to earn enough money to put on a Play. It’s just like the first game’s activities.

  • Look through 3 famous Shakespeare scripts to find the missing pages. The game reads the story to you, as well as allows you to read along.
  • Play mini games to figure out where items belong.
  • Match sounds to instruments.

When everything has been completed, you can click on the stage lights to see the characters perform the play.

Trivia
  • The 1999 series of Lightspan releases are the most abundant, as well as the most chaotic when it came to variations. Besides the manual reprints, there were also Spanish manuals printed for that entire series. Below is the Spanish manual (left) next to the regular two manuals for comparisons. As far as we know, there is no Spanish Language discs.

  • Lightspan went all out for several of their characters, including giving Mars Moose his own universe of characters, theme song, and cartoon opening animation. The opening can be optionally viewed on all three Walkabout CDs.

 Variations / Misprints
There are several variations with this release. The first is the original 1997 printing to the 1999 re-printing. The later presses have a barcode for easier tracking purposes, as well as a logo change. They also went from the universal 'Mars Moose' to the series specific 'Walkabout' image.

And the inserts were changed as well.
