Little Learning Labs: Unofficial Minecraft for Kids--an abridged paperback edition of Unofficial Minecraft Lab for Kids--offers a variety of creative exercises that explore the game through fun, educational lessons. Activities selected from an Amazon Best Kids' Books of 2016 pick! Balancing your child's screen time can be difficult, especially when it comes to wildly popular, open-ended video games like
Minecraft. Minecraft offers players an
environment focused on exploration,
imagination, and
creation, but its nonlinear game structure can mean spending a lot of time in the game.
You will start the book by
brushing up on some common Minecraft terminology and
examining the two main modes of game play: creative and survival. You'll then use this knowledge to venture off onto the six different quests that
combine out-of-game and in-game activities and
encourage child and adult participation. You'll even learn how to screencast and narrate your own videos to share with family and friends.
Little Learning Labs: Unofficial Minecraft for Kids provides fun, educational gaming goals that
you and your child can reach together!
