Teach Kids About Commercials

This is the time of year when kids are asking their parents for holiday gifts, regardless of what they might need. In Don't Buy It, kids learn about media literacy, how they can become more critical readers and watchers of advertisements. This includes being able to read labels and boxes more carefully, so that they know what is really included in a game or toy, and what extra costs might need to be bought to use it. In the game, you can also make your own commercial, and you can also manage the career of a rising teen pop star.
