TOS Crew Review: Always Ice Cream

My daughter, Ava Mae, could not wait to help out with reviewing Always IceCream. A great website for girls ages 7 - 12 years old to play educational games {math, geography, bible, language arts, science and more}, interact with each other in a virtual community {with parent's approval}, watch educational videos, and much more.

So, how does Always IceCream work ...

"Always Icecream serves "virtual ice cream," or $coops, to girls in exchange for practicing basic math, advanced math, geography, language arts, science, typing, and more. Girls use $coops to play fun games, decorate their homes on Mini World, and feed their virtual pets on Pet World."

Here are just a few screen shots from the Always IceCream website:

My 7 year old daughter really enjoyed playing the fun games on the site and the colors and cute graphics drew her in. The only draw back for our family was that most of the educational games were above her level {She did enjoy doing the math on her own as it did not require any help from us}. We solved the problem by having an older sibling or myself sit with her on the educational game part so that she could have help reading and earn scoops then to play the fun games by herself. We also chose not to allow our daughter to use the social side of this website, mainly because of her young age but, had we used this website for my 9 year old daughter we would have had no problem letting her interact with friends on the site.

I did really like the educational environment on this website. I also liked that parents can decide what content they allow their daughter to participate in and I can pull a report which shows me how she is doing on the educational games.

I think Always IceCream is perfect for an older girl or one who is reading. Why not give it a try for your family ... Always IceCream is offering a free trial. After your free trial is over the rates are very reasonable. Monthly memberships are $4.99, Annual memberships $29.99, and Lifetime memberships $99.99.
