Animal Jam is a fun game for your kids and it is an award-winning app that was recognized as the Best App for Kids in 2017 by Google Play Awards. The online virtual world was created in collaboration with the National Geographic Society in 2010. When you download the game, you can become your favorite animal and create an identity with a style that will express who you really are.

You will find various biomes, dinosaurs, and animals that you can customize when you play the Animal Jam game and you will be taken to a fictional place called Jamaa. You will create an animal as a new player and you have to name it using three simple words only. You can already start your customization from then on and move around with your animal in the gameplay environment.

There were six virtual animals originally that can be created, including tiger, panda, rabbit, koala, wolf, and monkey. However, to give more options to the players to see their favorite in the game, there were more animals added later. Kids would love to have their own virtual pet and decorate their own den while they can also meet and chat with their new friends.

Because the virtual pet simulator has so much to offer, you can explore the world of Jamaa and grow your animal. You also get to discover and learn various facts about zoology using its numerous features, including puzzles, mini-games, adventures, social interactions, and parties. Along with videos, animal facts, and e-books filled with animals, these fun animal games will let you learn about the natural world.

If you are not careful and responsible with your actions, just like any online game, it’s not always the fun and excitement you get when you play but there are also some downsides and dangers. The game is considered educational since it has collaborated with prominent scientists and educators to have a new way to introduce kids to science using colorful images of the natural world. Kids get to play online and enjoy the fun and exciting place so they become inspired to explore and protect the world outside their homes.

We will see how much the game has to offer when our focus is on how the kids can learn more about animals and the science of the environment. However, there are some issues with the game and several parents have already encountered them. These stuffs are common in online games and they should never be taken for granted since kids are involved. Here are the problems that you should look into.

• Unfiltered Chats

You can easily control how your child will play but you can’t control the other users. You can tell your kids to be careful with what they are saying just like in chat but you cannot do this with those who chat them.

• Uncontrolled Interactions

Although your kids have good intentions, the others players are not the same as them because they are mean to selected players. Your kids may get hurt and disappointed when they can’t adopt a pet in the “pillow room” because another player rejected them and eventually left the room.
