NEW MY AMERICAN FARM GAME!
| |
IN MY BARN PreK-K Game
A new online game developed for Pre-K-K students is now available on MyAmericanFarm.org, the popular agricultural gaming site. In My Barn is the first game for a Pre-K-K audience on My American Farm.
Students use math skills to help Farmer Faye, a character in the game, care for her animals. As they play the game, students earn points which help them fill a grain storage silo. Once students fill the silo they earn a new stamp to add to their Passport for Sustainability-the tool that helps youth keep track of their journey through the various My American Farm online games.
In My Barn is closely aligned with the PBS Kids Ready to Learn Math Framework, which supports STEM (science, technology, engineering and math)learning. The game also meets national standards for mathematics instruction.
The My American Farm educational gaming resource is a special project of the American Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture. The site and resources are made possible through the generous support of title sponsor, Pioneer Hi-Bred, a DuPont business.
