Club Penguin

Why it’s cool!
It is cool because it takes place in a virtual world and it is very safe to chat.

When your parent creates an account for you, you get to be a penguin and you live in an igloo. You can decorate your igloo, but most of the good stuff is for paid “Members”.

You can also solve a mission using clues and get bonus coins. There are also lots of hidden pins and costumes that you can collect for your penguin.

The best part of Club Penguin is the “Puffles”.

You also get to make friends with other penguins. Every month there is a party where you can hang out with your fellow penguins.

All of my cousins have an account and we all chat and play online together.

Is it entertaining, educational or a little of both?
It is both entertaining and educational.

My favourite activity on Club Penguin is to be a “Secret Agent” and solve the missions. The missions have lots of clues and you have to solve the problem in order. Sometimes the missions are hard and I need help from my parents or my older cousins.
