Activity Rules

Selection

There are 10 fun filled games in your SmartGlobe™Jr.

Activate these by 3 simple steps:

Learning with the SmartGlobe™Jr. is as easy as 1-2-3.

Make a game

selection by

sliding the game

selector to stand on

the chosen game.*

During the time

in which the

music jingle is played,

turn the globe so that

the chosen area faces you.

Following the prompt,

make a selection by

touching a place on the

globe to hear fun facts on

that subject in the chosen area.

This globe was specially created with the child in mind, therefore, the globe operates on (child) finger touch

sensor. If attempts are made to touch the globe with a palm or an adult hand, it may activate a place not

intended by the player.

The learning activities have been designed around 7 touch activated regions:

1) Asia 2) Europe 3) North America 4) South America 5) Australia 6) Africa 7) Arctic Circle.

When one of these areas is touched in the discovery activities, it will first mention the continent or region then

introduce a country within that area. The countries will be introduced at random each time the area is touched.

* The game can be changed at any point by sliding the game selector to a new game.

Activities

At Oregon Scientific, we take pride in developing learning products parents can depend on to help their

children learn in fun ways. Your SmartGlobe™Jr. will give your child a firm base in geography and

general knowledge, which will only grow.

We have come up with a few suggestions to help guide you in building on that natural curiosity and developing

that ever strong bond between parent and child. Explore with your child the wonderment that is the world!

Discussion points

World Animals

Animals have been carefully selected to show the diversity of the animal kingdom and

fun facts narrated by Oree are sure to leave a lasting impression on your child.

Habitats and weather conditions:

Your child will learn that animals live in different habitats around the world.

Below are a select few with brief descriptions:

Desert - The Sahara Desert can get very hot, but it can also get very cold at night! It is hot and dry.

Rainforest - receives the most rainfall in the world. It is hot and humid.

Forest - has many trees which provide great homes and food for many animals.

Mountain - a landform that extends above ground. Most of the world's major rivers are fed from

mountain sources!

Savannah - a stretch of grassland where many grazing animals live.

Arctic Circle - a very cold place where some people inhabit.

Zoo Trip:

Go on a trip to the local zoo. Point out to your child the special things zoo keepers have done to make

the animals feel at home. Examples include perches for birds, branches with ropes for monkeys,

colder temperatures for animals from the polar regions, and warmer temperatures for amphibians.

The amazing body:

Different animals are good at doing different things, such as kangaroos at jumping, penguins at

swimming. Ask what your child can do, with his/her body.

Turn it into something fun by placing the words in the song “When you're happy and you know it.” You can

substitute ‘clap your hands’ with: stomp your feet, skip to the beat, hop around, jump about, dance with joy,

jog along, walk about, sprint to me. Please ensure there is plenty of space for your child.

Pretend play:

Develop your child's imagination, role-playing skills, introduce new verbs and revise what was

learnt by using the game “Simon says”. Examples include “jump like a kangaroo”,

“dance like a crane”, “hug like a koala”, “wobble like a penguin”, “soar like an eagle”.

Build on this and include other animals like “hoot like an owl”, “buzz like a bee”, “prowl like a tiger”.

Sights

Natural and man-made sights are equally important. Apart from being tourist attractions,

these sights often symbolise a country's ideologies, and history.

Discuss about sights with your child. These don't have to be famous landmarks,

but can also be local sights or places they enjoy visiting.

The rainforest really is a treasure trove of animals, insects and plants. Discuss with your child about the

different animals that live there. Some exciting examples include the ocelot, cougar; sloth, anteater, tapir, bats,

anaconda, strawberry poison frog (one of the smallest frogs in the world), macaws, egret, and piranha.

Balanced Meal:

Food Pyramid / My Pyramid (USDA, 19th April, 2005).

Explain that the body is happiest when we eat well, we feel fresh and we are strong to fight off

diseases. You can briefly explain that there are categories of food and we should aim to eat

from every group. 1) Grains, 2) Vegetables, 3) Fruits, 4) Oils (from fish, nuts, and vegetables),

5) Milk / Dairy products, 6) Meat and Beans. Apart from eating well, we should do exercise and not eat too

much junk food.

Food

Certain types of food are common around the world, but have been adapted to suit local tastes. In this section,

food that is commonly known and relevant to children have been chosen. Most children will have had firsthand

experience with these.

Trying new food, an important lifelong lesson:

Explain to your child that while this may not be the food we eat everyday, or have never even tried it before,

it does not mean that it is not yummy. Afterall, this is the favourite food in some countries! So, why not try it

and see what it is all about. ‘If you never try it, you will never know’. Broaden this idea to other foods as well.

In some places, such as

Bangalore India, people use

banana leaf as a plate. They say

that by placing hot food on the

banana leaf, it gets extra flavour.

Where chopsticks are used, bite-size food is served so that

picking them up is easy and ready to pop into the mouth!

Cutlery:

Teach the types of cutlery:

What you eat / drink from:

Plate, bowl, dish, cup

What you eat with:

Knife, fork, spoon, chopsticks

Ideas

Festivals

Get a taste of local celebrations in this game. This introduction encourages understanding and cultural

sensitivity. Despite the differences in the celebrations, one will quickly see that they share a common theme of

family, sharing, and thankfulness.

Discuss with your child festivals that friends or neighbours celebrate which are different

from your own. Usually these festivals are open to the public, and often inviting others

to join in the fun. Try and arrange an outing, and prepare your child by discussing traditions,

ornaments, etc prior to going.

Inventions have made great contributions to our lives, by making it easier, fun, or by opening up new

opportunities or unchartered territory.

In this game, an array of exciting inventions have been selected for their relevance to children.*

Sports

Being active is fun and healthy. Sports can teach achievement as well as playing part of a team.

Discover the sports enjoyed around the world.

Sportsmanship – an ethos of life:

It is important to foster a sense of good sportsmanship - to treat everyone with respect. This respect and

appreciation then transfers to other areas of life. Help your child understand that winning is not everything,

that they should have fun. The real winners are those who continue despite difficulty, all the while behaving

with dignity. Small actions like congratulating the opposing side is not easy to do but is crucial.

Music

Music is the global language of the world. Regional music is brought alive with lively and fun animation by a

touch on the globe.

Just pour some rice into an empty bottle and shake away. Try experimenting with different content

(such as beans) and see what noises you can make.

National Anthem

Learn about National Anthems and flags around the world.

Find out more about your flag – the history and the symbolism behind it.

Teach your child which country they live in and their nationality.

Languages

It is fun to make friends around the world. Learn how to say hello in different places,

the name of the languages and where they are spoken.

Using the well known simple cut out men (decorated differently), you can explain to your child

that while we may all look a bit different, dress a bit different, speak a bit different,

we are actually the same people and share the world together.

The differences simply make the world a more interesting place to live in.

Clothes

Clothes associated with different countries have been selected to show diversity,

function, ceremonial importance as well as their continued use.

Weather and clothes:

Talk to your child about different clothes and their important function. Discuss with your child the four

seasons and the weather associated with each.

Then discuss which clothing is associated with the different seasons. Some examples of clothing are:

woolen hats, mittens, sunglasses, jackets, swim suits, raincoats, and umbrellas.
