Video games are always a great gift idea for the holidays; Especially ones that teach while the kids play. I don’t think there’s a kid that I know that doesn’t play video games at least once in awhile. I’m sure many of their parents would love for them to play learning video games, but so many of them aren’t very fun for kids. That’s not the case with JumpStart.
JumpStart will be launching a new game, Escape from AdventureIsland on November 17th. JumpStart Escape from Adventure Island is the second title in the JumpStart series of adventure-based learning games for the Wii and is designed for kids ages 5-9. A crash landing strands players on a mysterious island and players have to use their skills to escape.
My kids were lucky enough to get an advanced copy to try out and they have been fighting over playing it nonstop. My oldest Big Bro just turned 10 and he has been having fun running around on little adventures collecting coins, so this game can be fun and beneficial to kids older than 9 as well. I will even admit that I had some fun playing it too! {Giggle}
Here are a couple of pictures of the screen while the kids are playing. I apologize for the not so great pictures, but I took like 10 and these are the only ones that turned out! I even used the Bil’s camera!
