A Polar FamilyVenture Arctic Teaching Materials

We’ve developed a set of teaching materials and lesson plans that complement some of the more academic aspects of Venture Arctic. Each lesson contains:

  • In-depth teachers guide
  • Kid-friendly Slideshow
  • Activities, Puzzles, and Labs
  • Quizzes
  • Links to supplemental media.

We recommend these lessons for grades 4-6.

These can be used in conjunction with the game or on their own. We just want to make it easier on you, the teacher, to create lessons and enrich the lives of students. Of course, if you ARE interested in purchasing copies of Venture Arctic for the classroom, we offer significant educators discounts and site licenses.
