Playing games

Being the gadget freak that I am I found a great game (unfortunately only for iPhone/iPad so far) called Rescue Reef. Not only is it a fun game to play, I think it's great for kids (and adults) to have fun and learn about the ocean at the same time.

Basically you start with a dead gray reef. You build a rescue and start bringing animals in to feed, heal and clean them. After breeding them or playing with them to make them happy they are released out into the ocean again. For each level there are new species to rescue, and for each species you rescue you get information about that species, like where they live and what they eat and more fun easy to grasp facts. You have "celebrities" sponsoring animals, and you get extra points for picking up bottles, plastic and other rubbish from the bottom.

For each level the surrounding reef gets more color and life.

Try it! It's fun!
