As the weather turns cool "What Can I Do?" becomes a familiar call. Which Internet source can they turn to for official, trustworthy information and fun? Kids.gov – the official kid’s portal of the U.S. Government.
With Kids.gov’s collection of 1,200 links, your children will have a world of exciting and educational sites to scope out. And because Kids.gov is free from unsafe links and advertising, you can let them browse the site freely, without worry. They can explore a virtual mall and learn how to become smarter shoppers. Watch live animal web cams to see the antics of the panda and gorillas at the National Zoo in Washington D. C., or keep an eye out for the next time the International Space Station will be flying over your town.
Log on to Kids.gov regularly to find out which fun and interactive kids’ website from the government will be the “Site of the Month.” And learn about the exciting day-to-day work lives of people like FBI agents, zookeepers, Peace Corps volunteers and more in the “Career Spotlight.” Play games that teach about everything from art history to healthy diet and exercise to predicting the weather. And get the latest information about the best way to reduce, reuse and recycle.
With its three sections, Kids.gov is a great resource for everyone – children in grades K-5, children in grades 6-8, and teachers and educators. Kids can easily find activities and sites geared to their grade level. And adults can order or download free publications, colorful posters, and practical lesson plans.
