This Shrek activity center gives kids many engaging activities while sticking close to the Shrek theme. Like many activity centers, this title is a compilation of several types of fairly low-key edutainment activities.

There is a word search, where you will need to find all of the Shrek related words in the list - the word searches are randomly generated so you'll never see the same one twice.

2 types of puzzles allow you to put together pictures from the movie - a sliding tiles puzzle, as well as a jigsaw type with square pieces.

In Splat!, you'll control Shrek's hand to help him squash the bugs that are crawling out of holes.

In Ogre Maze, help Shrek and Donkey find the way out.

Criss Cross is a word puzzle where you need to place the words in the right spots.

And finally, in Melody Match, you need to imitate the tune of the songbird.

The game will track high scores as well as let you print the mazes and word games, as well as the puzzle pictures once you've put them back together. [source:mobygames]
