'''''Rayman Maternelle''''' is an educational game based on the original [[Rayman 1|''Rayman'']] and a part of the ''Rayman Accompagnement Scolaire'' series. This game was released in 1999 for PC and MAC. It is only sold in France and Canada and available in the French language. The game was designed with a team of teachers and educationalists, in accordance with the official programmes of the Department of Education. Aimed for an audience of young children between four and six years old, ''Rayman Maternelle'' prepares them to enter in the primary school with an introduction to the reading and the calculus, creativity, music and English workshops and games that familiarize the player with the mouse and the keyboard. Some earlier editions of ''Rayman Maternelle'' were bundled with an exclusive Rayman-branded computer mouse.
 
==Gameplay==
 
''Rayman Maternelle'' includes two CD-ROMs. The first one is consecrated to the reading, the English and the creativity. The second one is consecrated to the calculus, the music and the games.
 
On the screen title of each CD-ROM, [[Rayman]], settled down in a hot-air balloon, proposes to the player to write his name with the keyboard or to select his name in the list if he wants to continue his game. 30 different names can be writing. When we start a game, [[Rayman]] presents his friends to the player.
 
In the two CD-ROMs, the player arrives in a beautiful garden, where a big house is built. [[Rayman]] presents the place and his owner, before let the player continue alone. From the garden, we can access to the educational activities by clicking on the objects and to the activities of creativity and relaxation by clicking on the house.
 
At the bottom of the screen, there is a toolbar with numerous icons. With them, the player can listen again the instructions of an activity, select the level of difficulty (Easy, Medium or Hard), validate an answer, reach the rewards screen or the results screen, go directly to the garden or the house and quit the game.
 
During the two CD-ROMs, the player is encouraged by [[Rayman]] and wins concrete, motivating and progressive rewards. When an activity is finished in a level of difficulty, the player sees [[Rayman]] performed a song and wins an object, which adds to the rewards board. When ten objects are collected, the player wins a screen saver. When each activity is finished in the same level of difficulty, the player wins a mini-game, accessible from the rewards screen. When an activity is finished in the three levels of difficulty, the player wins a printable game, accessible from the results screen. When a CD-ROM is finished, a mysterious sentence appears on the rewards screen. If the player sends the mysterious sentence of the two CD-ROMs with the form provided with the manual, he will receive a special gift at his house.
 
Another game of the ''Rayman Accompagnement Scolaire'' series released in 1999, ''[[Rayman CP]]'', use the same gameplay and some characters and activities of ''Rayman Maternelle''.
