My boys are very much kinesthetic kids, so a game that provides a lot of sensory input (visual, sound, tactile) is more helpful to them than reading a book. I'm sure he would have remembered some of what he learned if he had read a textbook, but nearly as much something hands on like this. I can guarantee you he wouldn't have had laser focus for 3 hours!!

Hi!<br />I have been on the fence about computer games for my kids. The oldest is five, so I haven't been in much of a rush. But I've been on the fence because I'm really not sure they will retain anything they learned.<br />However, did you just say your son is excited about an ancient calender stone? And made his own code and message? That's awesome.<br />I think you just tipped the scales for me :) Thanks for all the pictures too, this game looks worth checking out! Even if it's just my husband who plays it for a while :)Heather McCoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18229431278057048062noreply@blogger.com
