Eco-Adventures for Kids

xeko-mission-indonesia

Kid’s today have plenty of entertainment options, but most of them require batteries or plug-ins and the only lessons learned are when to push A and when to dodge. Instead of another video game, why not pick up something for your kids that they won’t watch on a screen, like Xeko Mission: Indonesia, an intricate card game that comes packaged in a mini “coffee crate” and helps educate kids about environmental issues around the globe.

The players must create a sustainable, balanced eco-system using the 41 cards included in the pack and the Playmat/Eco-Map to help the endangered animals in Sundaland (an area that includes parts of Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Borneo). While the game appears complicated initially, kids who are on the older side will enjoy the challenge and discovery and you may just find it’s complex enough to get your playing, too. If your children enjoy Xeko Mission: Indonesia, you can purchase other locations, like Xeko Missions: China, which can intergrated into each other. The fun can continue online, too, with an Xekopedia, Agent Zone and list of Xeko events around the country. Click here to read more
