Communication
Advice and Information on Communicating via Club Penguin

Club Penguin is designed for 6-14 years olds. The site has a strong commitment to safety and is an ad-free zone.

Due to the live-time in-game chat, the site uses chat-filters and real-time moderation to keep things clean and pleasant. Those straying from the chat policy are barred from the site. For those parents who are still a little nervous, there is an ‘ultimate safe chat’ function whereby players can simply select comments from a menu, as opposed to having total freedom of speech. For a kids social networking site with this much live-time interaction, Club Penguin has gone out of its way to ensure player safety. A very well made kids social networking site.

What can be learned here? This grades the educational value of the site for children..

Players have to undertake games and challenges, climbing levels and collecting items along the way. Inter-player chat is all part of the fun and players have the ability to help each other by providing items other players need. Club Penguin is mainly for fun but does encourage player interaction and inter-player support. In addition, all that typing can’t do them any harm.

The scope of the game and its interactive nature, alongside the variety of tasks on offer really demonstrate how Club Penguin has grasped the motivation and interests of their target group. Whilst nothing individually is particularly original, the combination of the features available on Club Penguin, for the age group being targeted is original, which is evident by its colossal popularity amongst players.
