For Educators
If you have any contact with kids these days you’re undoubtedly aware of how much they enjoy video games and how strongly they respond to the messages and themes in those games. Have you thought about offering video games as an educational supplement? (By the way, we’ve got extensive teaching materials to complement Venture Arctic).
We offer up to half-off orders for educational purposes. We can also sell a custom site license. Please email us at support at pocketwatchgames dot com to receive coupons or a price quote on a site license.
How Video Games Educate
In the tradition of March of the Penguins and the fun, educational programming on the Discovery Channel, our games offer a way to connect with children and inspire thought about issues in science, ecology, and biology. We have been told time and again that our games are the spark for a deeper interest in issues surrounding animals and the environment. Video games, unlike TV shows and movies, require the player to think and make decisions about their environment. Retention and comprehension increase dramatically when a child is actively using their mind rather than passively watching. Video games can have incredible influence over a child’s development; why not put them to use in enriching your students or child’s education?
Rave Reviews for Kids
Our games have always gotten rave reviews by educators and parents. Wired’s Geekdad gave Venture Arctic his thumbs up, while his 8-year old daughter gave the game a 9 out of 10. Venture Africa is a hit with every age group as well; GamersInfo tested the game with children of varying ages and got a universal thumbs up. Your kids want to play, why not make that time educational and enriching?
