New Club Penguin August 2011 Back To School Parent Update!

Hello Penguins!
Some of you have started school already (just like me) but some of you will start school in a few more days/weeks! Today Club Penguin has sent all our parents a reminder of how Club Penguin can help us with school. Take a look:

Hi Parents!
Many of you are getting into back-to-school mode and prepping for a successful year. When it comes to learning, there are lots of activities in Club Penguin that can help kick-start your child’s natural curiosity.
Adopt a puffle Adopting a puffle from the Pet Shop is a great introduction to the responsibilities and rewards of pet care.
Play Bits & Bolts This counting game exposes your child to multiples and odd, even, and prime numbers. Find this arcade game in the Lounge above the Night Club.

Become a secret agent By becoming a member of the Elite Penguin Force, your child can help others, solve problems and protect Club Penguin. Let them know there are missions to complete in the Command Room!
Count the jelly beansThe Bean Counters game in the Coffee Shop introduces players to color theory. Before pressing play, click the thread on the coffee bag to spill out the jelly beans. Click a jelly bean to access the secret level!
Be a tour guideThis job encourages your child to help others, meet friends, and develop social skills. Take the test and earn the Tour Guide hat in the Ski Village.
Chances are your child has learned something new in Club Penguin. Encourage them to share their adventures and achievements with you – and with us! We can’t wait to hear from you.
- The Club Penguin Team


It basically talks about how Club Penguin is related to education. Playing Bits & Bolts helps you solve problems, adopting a puffle teaches you responsibility, and so on. Now that I think about it, Club Penguin can be fun and educational at the same time! Have you noticed we actually learn while playing games on Club Penguin, completing missions/field ops, and working together to find all those missing items for scavenger hunts? I never thought of it!
So what do you think? When do you start school? I started about a month ago! Hehe… Make sure to leave a comment and let us know what you think!
