Over 30 Fun, Around-The-World Interactive Games and ActivitiesSelect from four categories of activities: "touch," "compare," "find," and "knowledge":
Touch activities provide information about the country selected with the SmartPen. Each country on the globe has 15 different learning activities, from the name of the continent to the national anthem.
Ready to compare? Select a comparison feature, such as population, time difference, or distance, and then touch any two places.
Find activities are designed for those ready for a challenge. Choose a game in this column to challenge your geography skills or to play against up to three other players.
Under "knowledge," you'll find regularly updated Amazing Facts and Earth Facts, interesting general trivia to all sorts of strange questions you might have.
