Cupid himself will make a trip,
To bring good cheer, love and friendship.
For all the Jumpeez in the land,
He’ll leave some gifts to take in hand.

A maze you say? What a special treat,
With scrumptious chocolates good to eat.
A ride with swans, how can it be so?
Float down Hearts Lane nice and slow.

When your kids make it through the Box of Chocolate Maze, they’ll reach the floating hearts trampoline!

Tell your kids to take a ride through Hearts Lane in a swan boat. They will be delighted by all of the sights along the way.

So many sweet things to see and do.
Cupid’s gathered his arrows and drawn his bow.
He just might strike a Jumpee or two,
Don’t worry, your kids can spread the cheer too!

Your kids can help spread the Valentine’s Day cheer, by throwing a heart at a fellow Jumpee as a sign of friendship.

What February activity are your kids looking forward to?

1. Say everything in opposites. For example, when your family wakes up in the morning say, “Goodnight” to each other.
2. Wear your clothes backwards or inside out. This is sure to make your family and friends laugh.
3. Eat your family’s meals backwards, beginning with dinner food for breakfast. Or, start your meal with dessert—we bet your kids will love that!
4. Play this game: Describe something to your kids and have them guess what the opposite of that word is. For example, “This is the season that is very cold and sometimes brings snow.” (Answer: summer)
5. Play this game: Say an action and your children have to do the opposite. For example, when you say, “Stand up,” your kids sit down.

What if everything was opposite on Opposite Day?

Where should a Jumpee look,
When trying to find a clock?

So to this portal, a Jumpee we send.

Will an item be hiding on top of here?
When they check, they’re sure to find proof.

For the remaining items, we say “Good Luck!”
And we hope you enjoyed the rhymes.

See the sky light up in celebration of the New Year!

To make sure your kids don’t miss out on this special show, we’ve instructed the JumpStart band to blare their trumpets and announce the start of each fireworks display. Make sure your kids listen for the signal while they’re out exploring! As the skies begin to dim, they’ll need to quickly make their way to the surrounding bays to catch a glimpse of the light filled sky. If they want more, tell them not worry! We’ve made sure that fireworks will be going off every 15 minutes. That way, they’ll be hard to miss even if your child’s busy on an adventure through the game.

Head over to the bay to see the show!

If your kids have already seen the fireworks spectacular, let us know what they think of this latest festive feature. We’d love to know how your kids have celebrated the New Year in JumpStart!

Keep an eye out for theses timepieces around the SpeedDrome!

For a seasonal search, Father Time has helped us out by hiding 20 items around the SpeedDrome, including: a vintage alarm clock, a digital clock, a digital wrist watch, an hourglass, a pocket watch, and a trusted sundial. Some of these items may be foreign to your kids, so let them know how each of the hunt’s items has stood the test of time to help Jumpeez both past and present track time.

Which items do you kids still need to find?

To figure out which items your child and their Jumpee have left; simply select the Communicator on the right hand side of their character dock. From there, have your kids hit the “Scavenger Hunt” button to pull up the list of items they’ll need to find for their JumpStart prize. Make sure they look high and low for these items since they could be anywhere in the SpeedDrome. If necessary, you and you kids may want to stay tuned for hints on some of our harder to find timepieces. Until next time!
