Take a look at some of the apps linked from
http://www.ofset.org/freeduc/browser.php?categoryID=4
or
http://www.linuxforkids.org/foreign.html


But also take a good look at gcompris ("j'ai compris")
http://packages.debian.org/testing/games/gcompris.html
(http://ofset.sourceforge.net/gcompris/about.html)

which could easily be extended in the way that you wish :-)
