Club Penguin

Sometimes I play an online game called Club Penguin, which is basically a safe chatroom (you aren't allowed to give out personal imformation like your address and such) sort of thing in which everyone takes the form of a penguin. I guess it's supposed to be a kid's game, (it's recommended for ages 8-14) but it can be fun (my dad, and older sis enjoy it). What you basically do is you waddle around the different rooms in the server and chat with other penguins. And you can play games to earn penguin coins, which you can use to "buy" things to wear (like the penguins up there are wearing) and furniture for your igloo (each penguin gets their own igloo as their own personal house). You can get a pet puffle too (a puffle is a made up animal), and they're kind of cute. There is even a newspaper; my favorite section is the comics (I even got a few of mine which I sent in used). One thing about it though that I don't like is you have to be a member (which means pay real money!) just to be able to "buy" anything, well most things. It's pretty expensive (like $57 or something like that each year) so I am not a member. My little brother, who is 7, is crazy about the game and is always playing it and daydreaming about becaoming a member. You don't have to pay just to play the game, however. They have a few tutorials (which are sort of boring, but may help you learn a little on how to play) on the site, clubpenguin.com. There are a lot of things in it and would take forever to tell about everything...anyway, here is a link to the game:


Well, you don't have to try it, but as I said, it can be fun.
