First 8 studios has developed and offered a free virtual farm game that aligns with early science learning skills for young children in Preschool through Kindergarten. Within this game, children are given a unique learning experience in which they are able to plant their own seeds for different vegetables, take care of their plants and watch them grow all from the comfort of their own home.

​

Authentic Learning: This game offers an authentic learning experience by allowing children to explore real world scenarios such as cause and effect, how climate effects plant growth and the roll that animals and bugs play in our agriculture world. 

​

Developmentally Appropriate Practice: Wonder farm provides young children with interesting, engaging, real world interactions via a virtual environment. This specific activity allows our young children to direct and guide their own learning through cause and effect scenarios. Your child will choose from a variety of culturally appropriate vegetables that they want to grow and decide how they will care for and harvest their farm. Building upon this concept, once the child has completed their farm, they are able to combine their products into a a virtual salad, which will help promote and encourage healthy eating habits. 

​

Science, Knowledge & Skills B1: Makes meaning from explorations and generates ideas and solutions based on their own observations of natural and human made worlds.

​

Science, Knowledge & Skills A3: Asks questions and begins to solve problems that arise during explorations.
