Using a variety of tools the player must dissect an animal (e.g. a pigeon, frog, pig).Art
The player must guide a pencil around a rectangular canvas and section off bits of the drawing avoiding enemies that will force the player to lose a life when touched. Art lessons are a lot like the arcade game, Qix.Music
The player needs to match up the button that passes through the line, similar to most rhythm games such as Dance Dance Revolution, Guitar Hero or Rock Band.Geography

The player is given a camera and needs to take photos of set places/objects.Gym
There are two different types of Gym lessons. The first one is wrestling, the Gym teacher will tell the player what buttons to hit to perform certain fighting combos and the player must then use them on his opponent.

The second time of lesson is dodgeball, Jimmy is placed in the same team as the nerds and needs to beat the opposing team at dodgeball.Shop
