This is an entertaining companion to teach young children about 10 nations, including Australia, Egypt, Ghana, Peru, and Russia.
This game lets a child select which country he will visit while being guided by a group of animated animals. The Gigglebone Gang, with its bright colors and fun-loving characters, will easily keep a young child's attention. Design your own Russian music box with different characters and ornaments, then watch them dance to excerpts from the Nutcracker. Enjoy a slide and song show as Monkie Sue introduces you to music, friends, and other exciting scenes from around the world. Explore the history of Egypt and test your knowledge with Velma. Choose from any of the six facts she presents and decide if Velma is telling you a fact or a fib. Travel with Turtle to other countries in search of clues to help free the good Dragon King from Tako, the evil octopus. When choosing a country to explore, the user gets to play a different game at each site. Games include "Mix and Match" and "Fact or Fib." The countries represented are diverse; therefore, your child will be exposed to many new cultural traditions. In all, there are 50 activities for your child to enjoy and learn about geography and cultures from. This is an outstanding learning tool for young children who are just beginning to understand the existence of a larger world and for parents who like to see their kids appreciate other cultures. |
