Business Spotlight: February 2009
Okay Sisters, as promised we have chosen the first business for our Monthly Business Spotlight. I recently had the pleasure of meeting a lovely young woman who has used her God given talent to create an educational board game for children. Robin Walker has an infectious smile and her face just glows when she begins to describe The Continental Whiz, Jr. Robin says her daughter was the inspiration for the game. “I wanted to help make learning fun for her,” Walker says. During the developmental stages she was able to test the game at different public and private schools. “It was designed to stimulate children’s minds“, she adds “so many parents and educators often become frust
rated with different learning styles of their children. That’s why The Continental Whiz, Jr. is customizable.”
“The Continental Whiz is a board game that will not only provide children with hours of enjoyment, it is also an extremely powerful tool that puts the fun back into learning. The game is interactive and fun for ages three to adult. It’s available in three age groups. The Continental Whiz is the ideal learning companion that will grow with a child’s level of intelligence and/or level of maturity in the classroom or the living room. The game comes packaged with a timer, game board, die, pencil, score pad, and question cards,” Robin explains.
A braile version and several different translations including Spanish, German, Latin, French, and Japanese are available. Anything can be incorportated into The Continental Whiz, Jr. For, example if you are a home schooler or a teacher you could place a special order and have a custom board designed per your specifications. “We are willing to do anything to further a child’s education,” say Walker. Studies have shown that the learning process of the game board is enjoyable and the retention rate and interest level of the user will increase dramatictcally.
It comes in history, math, social studies, english, geography, science, chemistry and a Bible version is currently in development. Walker adds that, ” The Continental Whiz can be customized to each individual state school curriculum.“ I was especially impressed with the Black History version of The Continental Whiz, Jr. I haven’t seen anything quite like it. What an awesome way for my children to learn about their heritage.
