New Game for Tween Girls: Fortune Girls
Wednesday, January 21, 2009
I love when game creators really go to the heart of what kids like! I have two daughters who are real girly-girls. They love dressing up, playing with dolls, looking at fashion, and doing my makeup. I haven't told them that I tried out a new game called Fortune Girls, that I know they'll absolutely fall in love with. I think I'll spring it on them this weekend when they'll have plenty of time to explore the site.Fortune Girls is unlike any game I've seen before for girls -- and I've seen quite a few. Fortune Girls allows your daughter to create a character who then creates her own fashion line. Here's what sets the game apart, though: Your daughter must design her own fashion line choosing fabrics that fit her budget, market it, and distribute it all on a $100,000 budget.
Not only does Fortune Girls help hone girls' creativity by giving them a virtual design studio, it also teaches them the rigors and details of running their own business. Becoming a fashion diva is much more than having creative ideas, it's also about having the confidence and the business smarts to make dreams come true. That's what I love about Fortune Girls. When I allow my girls to play I also know they will be learning valuable lessons in the process. That makes me feel good as a parent.
On the Fortune Girls web site your daughters can also see what other girls are doing in their communities, send fun e-cards, and play mini-games.

Author James Patterson has a ten year-old son who doesn’t like to read. So Patterson has established http://www.readkiddoread.com to help other reluctant readers.
I, too, grew up as a reluctant reader. And my father was the author of over 70 books. Now I write action-adventure and mystery books especially for tween boys. My blog, Books for boys, http://booksandboys.blogspot.com is # 4 on Google today.
