“Fact or Fairy Tale” is the newest addition to the popular agricultural gaming site www.MyAmericanFarm.org, and helps students in kindergarten through second grade learn valuable science lessons.
The fun and fast-paced trivia-like game allows kids to help a character named Jacob Justthefacts discover the truth about where their food, fiber and fuel are produced.
As they play, students are encouraged to continue helping Jacob uncover the truth by evaluating which statements are facts or fairy tales. After answering enough questions, participants are rewarded with a new stamp to add to their Passport for Sustainability - the tool that helps youth keep track of their journey through the various My American Farm online games.
The new game is one of 15 games that will be featured at the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) annual meeting, Jan. 8-11, 2012, in Honolulu.
The My American Farm educational gaming resource is a special project of the American Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture. The site and resources are made possible through the support of title sponsor, Pioneer Hi-Bred, a DuPont business.
