Jumpstart Online {Review & Giveaway}

My children & I were asked to try the online world on Jumpstart.com this summer.  I had used Jumpstart software many years ago with my now High School aged son, so I was more then willing to check out what they had been up to since that time.

Jumpstart has been busy!  They have a modern online world that still draws upon their original fun learning premise I remembered.  This world is constantly being improved and expanded and during our trial they even added a multi player capacity which my 8 & 10 year olds love.

On Jumpstart Online children must build up points to play & use certain exciting areas by answering educational problems/ questions correctly.  I found this to be a wonderful way to keep their minds from getting rusty over the summer months without forcing them to do a bridge book or another more obvious activity.

To keep up on all the Jumpstart happenings I would suggest frequenting the Jumpstart Blog.  You'll be able to read about new additions to the online game, items coming soon, other suggested activites, and other products.
