If any of you have kids, or maybe you’ve done it your self, or seen them advertised, you know what Neopets are. For those of you that don’t Neopets is a huge site were you can create up to four virtual pets from all kinds of imagined creatures and you have to buy them food, feed them and play with them. There are games and new world to explore. Best of all it’s free!
You might say well you said you have to buy the pets food. Well yes I did. Neopets is based on a system of neopoints. They are like money you earn them playing games and selling things. You use them to buy everything.
This game is great for kids because it teaches them how to save money, how to take care of a pet, and how to but cheap and resell. The kids will learn the value of a neopoint (a dollar) and have fun all at the same time. This site is very addicting because there are always new things going on.
They have guilds (clubs) where you can join and participate in discussions and contests and giveaways and what ever else they can come up with. They have a weekly paper you can write for and NeoHomes. Where you can create your own home and buy furniture to put in it! They have 50+ different stores and a bank to help you save your money.
A big thing is saving up for a paintbrush to paint your pets. The paintbrushes change there color and their ‘theme’ such as Island, Pirate ECT. You can also give your pet a Petpet(a pet for your pet) or a Petpetpet(a pet for your pets pet). You can also change their colors to.
There is so much to do and explore, play a game, enter the beauty contest, play the stock market, save up for a house, build your house, visit an new world, or just own a successful shop. The possibilities are endless and it’s a great learning tool for both kids and adults. Make new friends and chat too!
