Plant Real Trees by Playing

Note: This article is sponsored by Zig Zag Zoom.

My children are big fans of playing games on their tablets. While some of these games offer little educational value, others actively promote learning. I make an effort to steer them away from the less beneficial games, but it can be challenging when the educational options are not as fun.

Recently, I discovered an engaging mobile game named Tree Story, developed by former artists and game designers from Disney Interactive. The game is visually appealing, but what really excites me is its educational aspect. While players nurture their charming virtual trees, Zig Zag Zoom partners with organizations to plant actual trees, working alongside notable partners such as:

• The U.S. Forest Service
• The Nature Conservancy
• ACTrees, representing over 350 local tree planting groups
• Arbor Day Foundation
• Project Learning Tree

In addition to tending to their virtual trees, players can enjoy various forest-themed action and puzzle games that provide dynamic engagement. Keeping your trees safe involves protecting them from pests like the Asian Long Horned Beetles.
