Price $4.99
Age 6-12 yrs.

This app brings Paul Revere and the American Revolution to life in ways that keep the details fresh in a child's mind long after their device has been turned off. It's an animated journey loaded with fun, interactive features, and, as always, having Ansel and Clair as our travel companions keeps us coming back for more. Players see and hear events, circumstances, and locations from the American Revolution, while mini-games specific to each topic reinforce and bind that information with a playful touch. From Paul Revere himself we learn about the Boston Tea Party, No Taxation, The Boston Massacre, and other key events. Each of these events triggers a mini-game (like tossing tea chests to feed a shark) and an opportunity to take a photograph relating to the event, followed by a pop-up quiz review. Children can touch and drag a locator to visit key locations, reenact historical events, trace Paul Revere's route, decipher coded messages, and of course, witness his famous ride. These and many other exciting activities within the app result in countless hours of fun and learning.
