I’ve been buying JumpStart computer games for my boys since they were in preschool. I’ve always found the quality of the games and the amount of educational play combined with just plain fun to be well worth the purchase price. Now JumpStart games are available at the JumpStart 3D Virtual World website, with eye-popping graphics and fun characters!

Free registration on  JumpStart 3D Virtual World includes access to hundreds of adventure-based learning games, movies, songs and more.  Become a member, and you unlock hundreds of customizable games that teach over 60 essential skills in reading and writing, art, music, math, and critical thinking skills.  Aimed at ages 3-10, there is a game to appeal to most every child!

Right now you can save 20% off the regular monthly membership price and pay just $7.99 a month. Or, pay $74.99 for a full year and save 38%. When you think about how much it costs to buy workbooks, rent educational video games, and how much kids have to know just going into PRESCHOOL these days, $7.99 a month (the cost of ONE fast food meal) is an incredible deal.  (I’m not an affiliate for JumpStart 3D and this is not a paid post. They did give me a beta tester code so I could create an account and try out the site.)

Your character in the JumpStart 3D World is called a Jumpee. Jumpeez are guided by the host of JumpStart World,a dog named Frankie. He gives instructions for players to complete tasks as they play, sometimes just by moving their character around, sometimes by going into a Learning Center to play a learning game. This is a screenshot of the World Map:

At the completion of each learning game, the player earns coins or gems that can be used in other parts of the game to buy the supplies needed to complete a task. The jobs Frankie and other characters give players are designed to teach lessons about being helpful, trying new things, or other character-building traits.

There is so much to do in JumpStart 3D Virtual World! I really encourage you to check it out for yourself. Keep in mind that the free part of the site is only the introductory games, but you certainly don’t have to pay for membership to use the site. Also, the 3D graphics require a high-speed Internet connection and adequate memory. Take a look at the site with your child ages 3-10 and see how much fun it is!
