Consumer NewsNew Video Game Encourages TeamworkPosted: 12/3/2010 Perky penguins play plenty of games to help families find more fun while developing teamwork skills. (NAPSI) - When you teach children teamwork, education experts say, you help them do better in school and in life. Why Foster Teamwork? According to a paper released by experts on child care at Sonoma State University, it’s important for kids to learn teamwork because it can help “promote respect, responsibility...creativity, exploration and experimentation.” In addition, teamwork can “improve communication and self-confidence.” Teamwork and Family Fun Fortunately, the whole family can work as a team and have fun doing it in a new game for Wii. Players can now experience the fun and creativity of the snow-covered online playground of Club Penguin on a video game console for the first time. Based on the popular virtual world that’s captivated millions in more than 190 countries around the globe, “Club Penguin Game Day!” features a collection of exclusive new minigames that will challenge and engage the whole family. Players create a penguin, join a team and participate in a series of events, including Sumo Smash, Puffle Paddle, Dance Off and Sled & Slide. Each time players complete a series of events and beat a challenge, they conquer a zone on the island. The ultimate goal is to work together with their team and conquer as much territory as possible. There are 12 events and team-based competitions in single player, multiplayer and tournament modes that provide players with the opportunity to earn exclusive items. Another feature lets players transfer their customized penguins via their Wii Remote to a friend’s Wii for use in game play. Once back on the original console, high scores, coins and customization items earned will merge with the player’s profile. The game comes from Disney Interactive Studios and is for one to four players, ages 6 and up. Where To Learn More For more information, see www.disney.com/clubpenguingameday. |
