Webkinz Takes the World by Storm - A Webkinz Virtual Playground
from: Andrew WillsWebkinz is the latest online craze for kids. As a father of two
young children, I know my way around this fascinating new
virtual world, and it is very impressive. In fact, I'm also the
proud owner of a virtual Webkinz gorilla named, quite
unoriginally, Kong.
The world of Webkinz has been designed for users aged 6-13+ (or,
well, almost 40) and includes content for all ages and levels of
computer skill within that range. The general idea is you adopt
a pet, which has a real world stuffed animal companion, and
introduce him or her to the Webkinz online world. You start out
with one simple room, a couple of toys, and some Webkinz
dollars. Then, and often, you find new and exciting ways to
collect, earn, or win more dollars to upgrade your Webkinz space.
You can expand your Webkinz world with new rooms, yards,
furniture, clothing, food, and toys. You can arrange the rooms
how you like, move furniture, and make real changes to the
environment your Webkinz lives in. Kong has a pirate ship room,
but I'd rather not admit how much fun it was collecting all the
pirate themed pieces. My kids have fantastic Webkinz
environments; with ice rooms and fully stalked kitchens,
backyards with slides and pools the animals can play on, and a
host of funky clothing and accessories. They play safe and they
love the games, even the ones that may be subtlety teaching them
something.
The Webkinz world was clearly designed to reach the widest
possible audience within its suggested age range. Although some
of the Webkinz games and jobs (yes, your Webkinz can have a job
to earn Webkinz dollars) may be difficult for younger users,
there are plenty of opportunities and games for younger
audiences to enjoy the site on their own orwith the support of
an adult. Younger users can also enjoy all of the non-game
methods of making Webkinz dollars, including the Wheel of WOW,
Wishing Well and the Care Award. There is even a special 5-6
year old question section in Quizzy's Question Corner, which
includes over 1000 age appropriate, curriculum-based questions
that make Webkinz dollars faster than any of the games.
Is Webkinz World safe? Yes. The Internet can be an unsafe place,
and this is why as a parent I really appreciate efforts like
Webkinz. The Webkinz world includes what is in my opinion the
safest possible chat system available for kids. Webkinz chat is
constructed so users can't type in whatever they want. Nothing
inappropriate can be said, and there is no way to exchange any
personal information. Only people you know will have your
username, which is needed in order to add someone to your
Friends list. Finally, you can always decline another's offer to
join their Friends list, or delete them at any time.
In my personal experience, Webkinz World is a great place to
learn and play. Children can learn lots of fun facts at
Quizzy's. The questions at Quizzy's are age-appropriate, and
most are educationally based. There are also several arcade
games that promote learning, such as: Booger Gets an A that
promotes addition skills, Lunch Letters that helps children to
learn how to type and spell, Quizzy's Word Challenge that aids
in spelling, and Operation Gumball that encourages children to
think logically. Also, Webkinz Newz and the W Tales encourage
reading and the many contests encourage writing, creativity, and
problem-solving. What else? My kids are learning about money in
Webkinz World; by earning KinzCash, they learn how to save and
spend money. My oldest child recently saved up for a new
swimming pool that she added to a backyard space in her virtual
world. Now her Webkinz can virtually go for a swim. Webkinz
World also helps to teach children about responsibility, caring
for a pet, and getting along with others. Best of all, no
Webkinz pets can die. Webkinz pets can get sick, but they cannot
die. Have fun.
