That's the focus of the Notenik's recent video game release under the title Respect Our Earth. The collection of games teaches children (ages 5-10) the importance of protecting the planet, while being ecologically mindful of the limited natural resources we have available to us. The CD includes 8 games focusing on specific lessons that include recycling, smart energy use, protecting endangered species and more... While kids are encouraged with positive messages and asked to try again should they make a selection that would often be presented as a loss to help encourage them to continue trying to make better decisions for the planet in the games and in life. As you might expect, healthy earth messages are shared throughout the gaming experience to make the time spent playing a positive learning experience. It could make a great post Earth Day gift for kids...
