Teaches: health, physical fitness

CTR Review

This is a one to six player trivia board game that quizzes kids on health related topics. The activity begins as kids pick players to represent them on the game board. Next, questions flash onscreen (they are also read aloud by a narrator), and kids answer them by "buzzing in" on their particular letter key. Questions cover issues like vitamins, cholesterol, physical fitness, the human body and so on. Four multiple choice answers are given with each question— kids just need to select the right one to advance on the board. Challenge spaces let kids get up and move— they may be instructed to spin around, for instance, or clap their hands under their raised leg. Weaknesses include long transitions between screens. This is perhaps better suited to classroom use than home use. Kids in school will find this an entertaining yet educational diversion.
