This website is ok I could not play some of the games that I wanted to play and was a little bit hard to get to the one that I wanted to play I played leaps and flutters. But I would recommend it because the game I played was fun.
I would recommend Leaps and Flutters. It is a board game that is just like Chutes and Ladders because you could advance if you do something good for the environment, but if you do something bad for the environment you will go back.
You should play the atmosphere triva game it’s really fun and intresting
I Would recommend Power Up. It is very challenging.
Power Up is fun, but a little boring because it is not challenging at all. I kind of recommend.
If you play I suggest you play the hard mode, which is way more fun.
I would recommend offset.It is on the app store!!
I think that the games are fun and help people learn about how to slow down global warming
i think that wild weather game was pretty educational because it asks you question and thats how you move. So it is fun and educational at the same time
I thought leaps and flutters was fun
world wind disaster is vary fun it teches you how to spell and abut heracans
i played wild wether adventure and i vs the computer and it was very fun
I played “Wild Weather Adventure.” It was a lot of fun. The game part was entertaining, and I learned some things I didn’t knew from the questions.
I suggest that you play the game Whirlwind Disaster! It is super fun, and I learned a lot. It taught me how hurricanes destroy things very quickly.
I liked Wild Weather Adventure. I liked it mostly. one thing I liked was it was fun. What I didn’t like was the questions were too hard.
I played the wild weather adventure game. I liked the game because it was easy to understand and told you how to play. I also liked the game because even though it was a fun board game it was also educating because you have to answer a question correctly to move forward in the game.
Plat Power Up. It’s a very fun and mind challenging game. This game was very enthusiastic for me and I hope you enjoy it.
These games are awesome! I liked the game Offset and Power Up. Here are the links: Offset: http://climatekids.nasa.gov/offset/ Power Up: http://climatekids.nasa.gov/power-up/
Try the game slyder. You have to solve a crazy slide puzzle
I really liked wild weather adventure. Because you play it and it is really fun. It is also educational. So play it! its fun.
Offset is a fun game to play, but it is very challenging. You are trying to keep in the CO2 and you try to upgrade factories and cars etc.
I also liked power up because you use wind and solar power to generate a city under time constraint.
I played Frog and flutter. It was an ecelent game! I played as the frog and I won by 2 squares! It is basically like shoot as and letters, but you go up if you recycle or stuff and you o down by turning in your computer all night and stuff.
Trivia is really fun and I would recommend that. You have to answer questions about the climate. They ask you 8 questions. Hope you guys like it.
Offset is rally fun!!!
Sorry…
“Offset is really fun”. Sorry again!
The game Power Up was really fun when you powered the houses by solar and wind energy in a certain amount of time.
the game whirlwind disaster is very fun! While teaching you the dangers of a hurricane/whirlwind it is also helping you spell.
offset is vary fun and educational!
