Do You Know Where John “Whit” Whitaker Lives?

posted by gbowen
November 4, 2010

If you have one of the popular Adventures in Odyssey Games then you know who Whit is and that he lives in Odyssey.  Whit is the typical grandfatherly character and fulfils a paternal role and lives in this small rural town.

Adventures in Odyssey began as a radio show that was first aired in 1987. At present, hundreds of episodes have been produced and the show is broadcast all over the world. In addition to the radio programs, books, video episodes and albums are now available, and in recent years, Adventures in Odyssey has branched into computer games.

The series’ goal is to present children, as well as their families, with fun and educational amusement containing moral principles that the creators find lacking in other popular kids’ shows. These kids educational computer games teach morality and virtue and make great gifts.

Whit runs a peculiar ice cream store called “Whit’s End” (pun surely intended) that actually has a lot more to offer kids than just tasty treats. The large Victorian house serves as a recreation centre which is a kid’s dream come true in terms of discovery, imagination and adventure.

The many rooms such as the invention corner, the library and the theatre allow children to play and learn simultaneously. Whit’s End serves not only as the ultimate hang-out for children; it is also the central setting of the radio program. Here the children meet each other, and it is from this place that the many Adventures in Odyssey commence.

The radio series features a regular cast of children, adolescents and grown-ups. While Whit is present in just about every episode, most characters appear only in certain shows, in which case the story revolves around them. This theme is carried on in the three Odyssey computer games.

 Like Whit, present in each game is Eugene Meltsner, a science nerd who discusses the theory of relativity with Albert Einstein in his dreams. He’s an overly well-mannered adolescent with a vocabulary no one his age should possess. His manner of speaking is clever and dorky at the same time, a peculiarity that might have you laugh out loud a couple of times while listening to him talk.

These computer games are fun for the whole family and can be ordered online at All I Can Imagine.

Mastering “The Cube” – Rubik

posted by DonnaB
November 27, 2009

rubikscubesmThe challenge of trying to master the Cube, to be able to restore all of its six sides to the original colors seems to have a mesmeric effect on an amazing variety of individual’s right across age, occupation, wealth and social standing. Grandmothers, bank managers, baseball players, pilots, librarians, park attendants could be seen working away at their Cubes at any hour of the day.

In restaurants the Cube would feature on tables side by side with salt and pepper pots, handled with greater frequency than either. But it was the young, schoolboys and students, who were in the vanguard of what was fast becoming a massive movement that swept through the world. They were the ones who proved most adept at solving the puzzle, they were the ones to form special cubists clubs, to organize competitions, to suffer from Rubik’s wrist playing continuously for hours and days with an object that simply could not put down.

Every invention has an official birth date. For the Cube this date is 1974 when the first working prototype came into being and a patent application was initially drafted. The place was Budapest, the capital of Hungary. The inventor’s name is now a household word, Rubik’s Cube.

America – Our Heritage

posted by gbowen
November 25, 2009

Lewis and Clark Family Board GameAs our nation’s Founders designed their plan for a more perfect union, they understood that the success of a modern republic would require more than a political document like the Constitution. From their study of history, the Founders had learned of the pitfalls of republics before this one. 

They concluded that even the Constitution alone could not curb individual selfishness.  They believed that virtues were necessary for sustaining the American experiment. Their fervent prayers were an integral part of the birth of our nation.  As a testament to this, Samuel Adams declared on August 2, 1776 as other members of the Continental Congress were still signing the Declaration of Independence, “We have this day restored the Sovereign to Whom all men ought to be obedient. He reigns in heaven and from the rising to the setting of the sun, let His kingdom come.”

Hail to the Chief Family Board GameAs it relates to the checks and balances of our American government, the Executive Branch is responsible for the daily administration of the state bureaucracy. The head of the Executive Branch is the President of the United States.

Underneath the President are the several Departments that have been created by Executive Order. The Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Defense, and the Department of Justice are just a few examples of these subgroups within the Executive Branch. The representative leaders of these departments are collectively known as the President’s “Cabinet” of advisors.

Your family games should include educational board games such as Hail to the Chief.  Players move around the outside of the board answering questions on presidents and the Constitution, as you become a candidate. Then travel from state to state on the campaign trail answering questions on US history and geography to win electoral votes. Winner is the first person to make it to Washington, D.C. first with enough electoral votes.

This game is for ages 10 up and for 2-4 players.  Great way to get your kids and whole family aware of  how our government works.

VeggieTales card gameIt is difficult to imagine a time when card decks were not popular.  Did you ever wonder just how long card games have actually existed?

The history of playing cards goes back to the history of the games themselves.  Playing cards were invented for a particular reason; out of need.  They may be thought to go back to the dominoes or tiles that the Chinese gamblers and game players used as the medium for their contests long before technology allowed for the creation of the cards themselves.

Trick taking games are one of the most popular types of card games today. One of the ancestors of modern trick-taking games is Ecarte,  a French game that was played in the 19th century.

Shopping online for any type of card game or Christian card games will reveal many games that you have never heard of and it will be fun to select a few for you and your family to play. They also make great stocking stuffers for kids and adults alike.
