Your child will get to set off on an exciting adventure with Captain Rockhopper and other funny characters, meet and chat with new friends, and explore the beautiful Club Penguin Island!
Educational Aspects
Hand & Eye Coordination -The controls in Club Penguin Island may take a while to get used to, so your guidance might be required, especially for younger children. Even with the controls mastered, the game will still put your child’s hand and eye coordination to the test by slipping in jumping puzzles and a timed underwater racing game where your child will need to hit all checkpoints while avoiding dangers along the race track.
Fine Motor Skills -By playing Club Penguin Island, your child will get to hone their fine motor skills as they learn to operate both the trackpad on the left and the interaction buttons on the right at the same time.
Less Educational Aspects
Socializing -Being a social virtual world game, Club Penguin Island is all about the social interaction your child can get while still feeling safe behind the mask of online anonymity.
That said, this doesn’t mean that the game doesn’t have any regulations in place – there are plenty. If you are familiar with the game’s predecessor, Club Penguin, then you should already have a general idea of the chat restrictions in place.
Spending and Saving -There are in-game currency that your child can earn by turning in collectibles and completing adventures. These coins can then be spent at the few vendors selling party items, glowsticks, and virtual food and drinks.
Creativity -Due to the game’s outfit-designing aspect, your child is given the opportunity to showcase their creativity by coming up with their very own, unique yet fashionable outfit for their penguin avatar. However, only members can wear the clothes they design.
Special Features
Kid-safe -Similar to Cub Penguin, Club Penguin Island is a child-friendly and kid-safe virtual world game where players’ chat is closely monitored by game masters and the game’s in-built language filters.
In fact, the game even assign each new player a code as a username while the admin team behind the game manually goes through every single username to ensure that there are no foul language used.
Adorable Disney Costumes -You can buy adorable Disney-themed costumes for your child’s penguin avatar using real money. The costumes available are taken from Disney movies like Frozen, Finding Dory, Zootopia, Monster Inc, Toy Story, and Elena of Avalor.
Downsides
Lack of Content for Free-to-play Players - Most exciting content and fun interactives are locked behind a subscription paywall. So, if your child really enjoys playing the game, you might want to consider buying the subscription. If you’re still unsure, you can try the membership option for 7 days for free.
