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?

Can your kids think of any more things to do on Opposite Day? Let us know how your family will be celebrating this fun day!

Help our furry friends stop the lumberjacks!

A fun game of physics!

To score points and unlock new levels, all they’ll need to do is use their mouse to pull back on the beaver’s tail and launch some of beavers’ animal allies (think: rabbits, and skunks, and fish… oh my!). Your kids will need to knock down each lumberjack to advance to the next level, but to earn extra points, they’ll want to take down as much of their work sites as possible. The fewer critters launched, the better, so help them figure out where a single hit can do the most damage.

Control where each critter hits by adjusting the angle of the beaver’s tail.

Stop by the Boadwalk FunZone or hit the quick launch button to play!

You and your kids can’t get enough of Beaver’s Revenge? Then we have some great news for you… Beaver’s Revenge is available, now, for your mobile devices! The mobile app provides the same great 3D graphics with up to 60 levels of play supported by Game Center and Open Feint. That way your kids can keep an eye on those leaderboards and achievements while staying connected with friends in the game. Download it for FREE at the iTunes App Store or Android Market to play anywhere at anytime. Have your kids’ Jumpeez stopped by to help the beavers yet?

Your kids will find decorations, a new Fun Zone, and a scavenger hunt for May!

Tell your kids to click on the piñatas in the new Fun Zone to see what’s inside… there may even be some bonus coins for their Jumpeez!

Click on the piñata to whack it and see what's inside!

Also, your kids can get excited for JumpStart to host the Cinco de Mayo scavenger hunt! There will be 15 items hidden DownTown and 15 hidden in MainStreet, all themed for the holiday! You will find maracas and more!

 May is a great time to explore, learn, and have a fiesta at JumpStart! Are your kids ready for all the May activities?

Are your kids up to the challenge of finding all the eggs? They are hidden in some expert hiding spots, so tell them to look out for the bright yellow, pink, purple and green eggs!

1 out of 30 eggs found!

If your kids find all the eggs, they will earn bonus coins! Are they ready for the egg hunt?

When the shamrock has grown and gone, there will be a new plant to take care of in its place—a giant sunflower! Jumpeez can throw water balloons at the sunflower to make it grow.

Sunflowers aren’t the only new spring activity that will be arriving! Do your kids love to roller skate with friends? Then tell them to have their Jumpeez check out the Skate-O-Rama! It’s a great way to enjoy the lovely spring weather while listening to some awesome tunes! The Skate-O-Rama is two stories of polished wood where Jumpeez can get a workout and show off their dance moves.

Jumpeez can enter the Skate-O-Rama for music, dancing and fun!

Your kids will have so much fun in this springtime disco roller rink! If your kids are members, roller skates will instantly appear on their Jumpeez’ feet!

Jumpeez can show off their moves up in the air!

Are your kids excited for all that spring has to offer in JumpStart?

A Game Play Bonus has just been added to JumpStart! Each time your child logs into JumpStart on consecutive days, your child will receive bonus coins as incentives! This rewards your children for coming back multiple days in a row to embark on new learning adventures.

The coin amount increases depending on the amount of consecutive days that your child logs into JumpStart.

Each consecutive day your child logs in, a Daily Bonus Screen will tell them how many coins they have earned just for coming back!

For example, on the first day, your child will be awarded 5 coins. On the second day, it will increase to 10 coins. This is a great way to reward your children for learning and exploring on JumpStart.com!  With bonus coins, your kids can buy different items that will make their Jumpee unique!

What do your kids think about this new ‘coin-collecting’ method? Does it persuade them to want to play more?

The Hornhowlie

Before the hornhowlie arrives, we wanted to take a moment to introduce this critter’s designer – 8-year-old Nabeel! You may remember his original drawing of the hornhowlie:

Check out Nabeel's Hornhowlie entry!

Last week, Frankie was able to visit Nabeel’s hometown and meet him!

Frankie & Nabeel!

It turns out that Nabeel is not only a talented artist…he’s also a wonderful poet and an expert JumpStart player!

Congratulations again to Nabeel, and thanks for letting Frankie visit. We’re all looking forward to the hornhowlie’s arrival next week!
