By now, you’re probably aware of all the learning games available in the JumpStart Brain Training Arcade – after all, it’s pretty hard to miss the building with the giant brain!

Jumpeez can pump up their brains and earn coins at the Brain Training Center!

What you may not realize is that lots more learning is available in FutureLand, at the IQ Actionizer! FutureLand is a great place to check out if your child is toward the older end of JumpStart’s age range.

Your little adventurer can kick butt at learning games in FutureLand!

The IQ Actionizer is packed full of learning content for students in the third, fourth, and fifth grades, which means reading, writing, and arithmetic feature prominently.

Looks like we’re going to need a pencil and paper for this one…

Of course, there’s a lot more math content than just multiplication. Players can also practice addition, subtraction, division, fractions, place value, counting money, and much more!

In the reading games, students will learn about complete sentences, parts of speech, prefixes, suffixes, spelling, capitalization, and homonyms, among many other topics.

We’re glad Uncle Max is happy, but is that a complete sentence?

Geography games will teach your explorer about world and U.S. geography, states and capitals, U.S. government, world currency, reading maps, and units of measurement.

Science questions round out the learning with information about astronomy, science history, critical thinking, and graph reading.

Reading graphs and charts is an important skill for many subjects, particularly science.

Best of all, this is a great opportunity for players to earn lots of coins, so they’ll be jumping at the chance to learn. Next time your big kids are on JumpStart.com, make sure they check out FutureLand for a great chance to learn and earn!
