overcome obstacles.

You and your child can join the whole Dragon Tales gang
in a day of Dragon Games (the Dragon Land version of the
Olympics). There's something for everyone in this story--bike
racing, mushroom hoping, a river race, and a game of dragonball.
As soon as Quetzal rings the big bell to start the Games,
your child can start illustrating the pictures. There
are four versions of "The Dragon Games" story, each told
from one of the dragon's perspective. The creative opportunities
provided by this activity should give you and your child
hours of fun together.
"The Dragon Games" narrative supports one of Dragon Tales'
core educational goals, "to encourage children to understand
that to try and not succeed fully is a natural and valuable
part of learning."
To play "The Dragon Games," choose a dragon. |

Each dragon in Dragon Land wears a unique badge. When
a dragon overcomes a personal challenge, his or her dragon
badge glows. The "Make-Your-Own Dragon Badge" activity
can be used to help identify and set challenges that your
child wants or needs to face in his own life.
Let your child choose a badge shape he likes and decorate
it with objects that express his personality. Then ask
your child, "What makes your dragon badge glow?" Together,
choose one of the listed challenges or help your child
write his own. When the badge is complete, print it out.
You and your child can use this fun activity to create
as many badges and set as many challenges as you want.

Join
Zak and Wheezie in the kitchen and help them cook-up different
dragonberry surprises. Children are asked to look at the
ingredients on a recipe, find them in the kitchen, and
add them to Zak and Wheezie's mixing bowl.
Your child will have a great time searching through the
kitchen and matching the objects. At the same time, he
will be learning how to follow instructions--one of Dragon
Tales' cognitive challenges.
When your child is done playing online, you can have some
fun together in your own kitchen. Just print out the illustrated
recipe and bake your own
dragonberry cake.
To make a dragonberry surprise, click on Zak & Wheezie.

When
Ord visits the "Forest of Darkness," he is faced with
the challenge of coping with his fear of the dark. In
this matching game, your child can help Ord explore the
forest. As she clicks on the screen, she will illuminate
different areas. Each illuminated area reveals a part
of a favorite Dragon Land character or object. When she
sees enough to identify what (or who) it is, she can click
the "I Know What It Is" button. Four choices will appear
and the child must click on the one that she thinks she
saw in the dark.
To find out what's hiding in the Forest of Darkness,
click on Ord. |
