Introduction
WELCOME
Welcome to Barney Secret of the Rainbow from Nova
Development. This is a fun, entertaining, interactive way
for your child to learn new skills by playing with Barney
and his friends.
This program is recommended for children from 2–4
years old, but older children will enjoy this, too! With
this program, young children can learn social and
problem-solving skills and improve critical thinking and
coordination. They can also learn shapes, colors,
numbers, and music.
This program includes animations, video clips from
Barney & Friends TV series, and interactive activities at
two different levels.
THEME
•
Level 1 has less complex verbal instructions and
simple activities. This level is appropriate to start
with — particularly for younger children.
•
Level 2 has more complex verbal instructions and
activities. This level is appropriate for older
children, children with advanced verbal and motor
skills, and children who have completed Level 1
successfully.
Barney and his friends are preparing for a music festival
in a park. There is a colorful rainbow with colors that
transfer to nearby trees during a storm. As the child clicks
a tree, he or she has activities to complete, which return
that color to the rainbow.

Level 1 activities, in general, involve pressing
arbitrary keys on the keyboard. Some activities
involve moving the mouse.
•
Level 2 activities, in general, involve moving and
clicking the mouse and possibly dragging objects.
After you (or your child) clicks a level, the Secret of the
Rainbow animation begins and then ends with a scene
with colored trees.
By clicking each tree, the child plays activities such as:
•
Red tree: Clear and set a table.
•
Blue tree: Make invitations (and posters).
•
Green tree: Blow up (and capture) balloons.
•
Yellow tree: Play dress up.
•
Orange tree: Dance (and play music).
•
Purple tree: Clean up the park.
The activities in parentheses are in Level 2.
7
After the child completes the activities for a color, that
color is added back into the rainbow and a video clip
from the Barney & Friends TV series plays.
In addition to clicking the colored trees, there are two
buttons on the Colored Trees screen that appear in the
lower-left corner.

animation and video clips that have played already

screen, he or she can re-view videos from the Barney &
Friends TV series that have played already and view the
beginning animation.
When the child completes all activities, all video
segments and the ending animation become available for
re-viewing.
Each TV is colored for the rainbow color related to that
video segment. Click a TV icon to re-view an animation
or a video segment.
Note: A video segment plays and becomes available

ACTIVITIES
There are certain activities in both levels where a child

•

(Yellow tree)
It is best for an adult or older child to go through the
printing process for the young child.
On most screens where something can be printed, a

appears in the toolbar on the left side of the screen.

In Level 1 when a child completes an activity, the
program automatically moves to the next activity, but in
Level 2 the child can at times click a Move On arrow.
This icon may appear when the child completes the
minimum number of tasks within an activity.
The ‘Create Invitations’ activity for Level 2 is a little
more complex than most other activities. It has a toolbar
