ClubPenguin.com is taking over playgrounds and computer screens in elementary schools around the world. Besides being engaging and cute, the site is safe, wholesome, commercial-free and predator-free.
What kinds of activities can kids do? Well, they can swoosh down virtual ski slopes, decorate igloos and chat with friends online. Tweens and teens can make their own cozy homes at ClubPenguin and similar sites like Neopets, Whyville, Habbo, Runescape and Nickelodeon’s new virtual world, Nicktropolis – all laden with safety features and designed for kids 6-14.
These kid friendly sites allow kids to explore identity, play games and hang out with friends. They also help kids polish their social skills as wells as their writing and communications skills through site writing contests and community “newspapers”.
While grownups fret over MySpace and Facebook, ClubPenguin is safe. Real names are never exchanged and a “safe chat” feature means that kids converse online using pre-scripted lines and emotions. And, anyone over 18 is given a penguin with a cane.
