We received a Shifu Orboot Educational Globe for free to play with and review. These are our honest opinions.
These kids of mine, they love to travel and they love to learn. When I had the chance to check out of the Shifu Orboot Educational Globe I was absolutely going to do it. I knew that the kids would be super curious about all the locations on the globe and what they could do with it. I was not wrong. Andrew took to it right away. I think partially in part to the fact that he had lost iPad privileges earlier in the day, but because Dad had to do this review he was able to be near an iPad. The other part was that he is a naturally curious kid and playing learning games is something that he enjoys. The Shifu Orboot did not disappoint. Take a look at the Orboot in action.
When we played with the Orboot we took turns choosing places on the globe to explore. We also played one of the Shifu mysteries. This gameplay lets kids search for places on the globe to solve a mystery, all while learning new things at each stop. It was interactive and fun. Andrew has been begging to play it again and he will once he gets back his iPad. The game also comes with a little stamp and passport that you can use to check off the locations that you have gone in a fun way. There is also a little booklet with a ticket to travel and some stickers as well.
The actual globe is colorful and has many locations. Orboot encourages children to learn about the world around them utilizing state of the art augmented reality (AR). Orboot is reinventing globes today, helping kids bring the world around them to life. Kids can use their iPad and the connected app to scan over a location and when they find one they can explore many things like different cultures, inventions, monuments, natural wonders, cuisines, and weather. There are even quizzes and more at each location. The Play Shifu provides a wealth of factual information about each country and city, encouraging young minds to explore and learn with the power of Orboot. This table-top globe and connected app brings the world around us to life with Orboot as your educational tour guide. Orboot is at a retail price for $49.95 and is for ages 5 and up!
