Punk Punk Drop is a fun and easy matching game! Move the punk punks around to get three of the same kind lined up! They go away, new ones drop in, and you earn points! Get four of a kind and you’ll get a bomb for an explosion of points! Five of a kind earns you a clock, get the clock to the bottom of the grid and earn some extra time. If you can get two sets of three at the same time, you might just get a special treat to swirl away your least favorite punk punks! Everytime you get rid of some punk punks, you earn points. Get as many points as you can in two minutes and earn coins! How many can you get?

What do you think of the new game? What’s your top score? Let us know!

The clock is ticking and our sources tell us that Tangorra has made some real progress in tracking down the missing Voltage Dragon eggs. Time is of the essence, so S.P.L.A.T. is asking for the help of EVERY SINGLE JUMPEE in its mission to stop Sorcerer Tangorra!

Are you close to finding the missing eggs? Jumpeez who have made it this far: you’re almost there! Just a few more clues and you’ll be able to assemble the map that will lead you to the Voltage Dragon nest. Hopefully you’ll get there before Tangorra has a chance to steal the eggs and finish his potion!

For those of you who haven’t found the 9th, 10th and 11th map pieces yet, S.P.L.A.T. has recently received the following intel that may make your quest a little easier:

9. On the beach in MainStreet there’s a lighthouse standing tall. Climb up and find the next map piece near that house’s wall!

10. This clue involves putting on your thinking cap. In the Brain Training Arcade is where you’ll find the map!

11. It’s not easy to learn to breathe flames, but this map piece is stashed where dragons train!

If you’re having trouble finding pieces of the map, talk to your friends to see what they’ve found. Or, post a comment here and see if a fellow Jumpee might be able to help!

Helpful hint: If you’re sure that your child is in the correct location and still cannot locate the map piece, clear out your web browser’s cache. This will solve the problem of the missing map piece!

Can you solve the clues and assemble the map?

For those of you who haven’t found the 6th, 7th and 8th pieces yet, S.P.L.A.T. has recently received the following intel that may make your quest a little easier:

6. The arcade is a place to go for fun.  Go there now to collect your map piece…run!

7. The Enchanted Sanctuary Nursery is the place for dragons of the smallest kind- Look by the waterfall for the map piece so you don’t fall behind!

8. Free Fall Mountain requires skydiving gear, but look ‘round before you launch…the map piece is near!

Be on the lookout for a new clue each day!  If you’re having trouble finding pieces of the map, talk to your friends to see what they’ve found. Or, post a comment here and see if a fellow Jumpee might be able to help!

Helpful hint: If you’re sure that your child is in the correct location and still cannot locate the map piece, clear out your web browser’s cache.  This will solve the problem of the missing map piece!

Wow! That’s a lot of jump pads!

Prepare for liftoff!

Here we go!

Tiki Falls

We showed you an amazing portal to the top of Tiki Falls last week, but did you know you can also get there by jump pad? Just step on the jump pad at the bottom of the falls to get started!

She’s moving up in the world!

Which jump pad is your favorite? Are there some awesome ones we’ve missed? Leave us a comment and let us know!

“Following and creating patterns, making comparisons, cause and effect, hand-eye coordination, following multi-step directions, life skills, goal setting, computer use, interaction with technology, etc. are all elements involved while playing in JumpStart”, says Heather Tuttle, Curriculum Writer.

Let’s take a look…

It takes quite a bit of hand-eye coordination to get to navigate Free Fall Mountain.

And navigating that chocolate maze requires pattern and letter recognition skills.

Even the pre-programmed chat words in the game are based on Dolch’s sight words, a set of words that should be standard knowledge by the third grade.

Plus, dance moves and emoticons help kids learn about social cues and body language. (After all, the Jumpeez showing angry emoticons are never as fun to make friends with.)

And the Jumpee Creator teaches body parts, colors and more.

Heather explains, “When a kid is playing at JumpStart they are drowning in opportunities for learning. Without even realizing it, this child is exploring, discovering, and beginning to make connections with prior knowledge, creating new knowledge.”

So tell your kids to go explore, chat, and play at JumpStart.com. You can relax, knowing that they are learning math and reading…but also much, much more.
