For the keiki…

The folks at Akamai Games have created some educational games to teach keiki about Hawaiian culture.  There are two games to choose from:  Pele’s Perils and Ohana Mana.

Pele’s Perils is about Hawaiian culture and the hazards of living on a volcanic island.  Ohana Mana is about Hawaiian culture and the strength of the family, as well as the dangers of living on a volcanic island.

If you’re interested in adding these games to your child’s choice of entertainment, go to Akamai Games website and order online or see if there is a retail outlet close to you that carries it.
