Get Moving With Playstation Move

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of PlayStation MOVE. All opinions are 100% mine.




Do you own a Playstation 3? You know Christmas is coming, right? You know we all play too many video games, and not get enough exercise, right? Well now there is Move for the PS3 video game systems.

For just $99 dollars you can add the Playstation Move to your current PS3 system. As you can see in the picture above it is a easy to use hand held remote, that has various attachments for various games. If you have ever played Playstation games with the traditional shock controllers then you know it can be a challenge if you have small hands, or are just not that coordinated to use and remember all those buttons. The Playstation Move solves that problem for you. It is slim and easy to hold, does not have all the buttons to remember, and gives you full range of mobility while playing. You can have family rivalry nights, parties with friends and other family members, plus get all that exercise we are all lacking in our lives. The only thing missing is the fresh air, and if you are real creative you could probably hook it up outside somewhere.

There are PS3 games that are specifically made for the Playstation Move system. For our family I would pick the Sports Champions first, because there is something for young and old alike on this game. There is tennis, golf, and bowling just to name a few. Caitlin would love Little Big Planet, and DJ would love the Sorcery game. They are adding new games all the time, and having events all over the country that you can actually attend to test one of these for yourself.

If you have a daycare, after school program, or youth group then this would be great for cold or rainy days, when kids can not be outside. For the elderly in daycare, nursing homes, or adult homes, the Playstation Move can keep them engaged, active, and supply ROM exercises all at the same time. For one low price, the Playstation Move has endless possibilities.

The Digestive System and Kids

Tomorrow we are again studying the Digestive System. If you go in the archives for last Thursday, there is a cool video you can watch. Click this link, to go to kidshealth.org, and listen or read all about the digestive system. They even have a quiz you can take at the end. This is one of my favorite sights for kids health learning.

If you have not checked out DJ's writing blog lately be sure to hop on over there. I have posted his first photo shoot for him. Can you believe it is the end of September already? I can't, but I sure am happy about not having to use the air conditioner these last two days.

Johnny Appleseed and Canada

Tomorrow is Social Studies and a jam packed day again. We will be starting with Johnny Appleseed. DJ already knows this so it is more review fun for him. The video below is cute, but if you would rather watch the Disney version you can get it from my archives here. Johnny Appleseed is one of the most searched items on this blog. For fun activity sheets on Johnny Appleseed you can go here, and here. These are free printables for anyone to use.

We are also studying Canada tomorrow. The other two videos below cover the basic history of Canada, and a virtual plane tour over their beautiful country. Other things to learn about Canada are: location, capital, languages, currency, population, agriculture, flag, industries, phrasing and spelling. I believe we have Canada next week too.

Then DJ gets to do chapter 3 of the Story of the World Ancient Times, reading with review questions. As part of the assignment he will write his name in hieroglyph forms. This should be interesting.

Parts Of A Camera, Weathering, and Weather Fronts

Tomorrow is Science class, and DJ actually has four different Science areas to study. Because this is our first week of 4H lessons, he has lesson one which basically is getting to know your camera. He also has his first photo shoot, which will have the theme of apples. Apples because it is Fall, and we are studying Johnny Appleseed on Wednesday. His photos will be posted each week on his writing blog. There are three videos below. One for parts of the camera, the weather process, and weather fronts. DJ and Caitlin are also finishing their final week of Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. DJ will do a blog post on Friday about what he learned. I found, with much difficulty, printable diagrams showing parts of cameras for a 35mm camera, and a digital camera, for comparison between the two. Caitlin will be doing some Fall crafts I found in an Allyou magazine. You can go to their website and download the templates for your kids for free.
