Amazing World and Zings - tweet to win!

I have always loved games and my kids do too.  Although they love some of the same classic board games that I did, they are more prone to play a game on the computer.   We have invested quite a bit in CD-Roms Discs through the years.  Now children are more likely to play games online.  The ones my children like most are the interactive ones that incorporate fantasy with real life.


 Besides the standard "hand-eye coordination", what are the benefits of gaming?  Most games for children have some sort of educational element, even if buried in entertainment - from ABCs and 123s to social interactions or choosing right from wrong.  Computer games can also keep kids engaged, and with parental participation, is a great avenue to open interactions between the parent and child.

My girls use both free sites and premium sites.  They really love the online worlds where you purchase a product or subscription, go to enter codes or use tokens.  Both received Visa gift cards for Christmas this year and could have used them on anything.  Instead they used the cards on premium online memberships to the gaming sites of their choice (with our approval).

Ganz Studios has produced a new online 3-D virtual world and you can learn all about it here!  Amazing World 3D game is a new game for children - this is a world where players discover, create, and make new friends in a controlled environment  What is great about this site is that it is actually FREE to play!  

Zings are the adorable, cuddly creatures that inhabit Amazing World that players can name and customize.  Players can choose the free-to-play option by picking a generic Zing at AmazingWorld.com.  (You can also sign up as a member to unlock other features).    Players can care for their Zings, chat with friends, complete missions, collect prizes and customize their virtual homes and avatars.  

Fun and Prizes!  Zings are toys that you can purchase separately.  You can register your Zing online - the Amazing World site fully integrates with the toy for an enhanced gaming experience.  Registering a Zing will bring your favorite characters to life within the game with exclusive prizes.

You get the virtual representation of the figure or plush within Amazing World plus an exclusive item!
