More than 20 printable puzzles, games and quizzes, 30 interactive characters, and dozens of items to find and collect offer kids a chance to learn about the Boston Tea Party, the Battle of Yorktown, Valley Forge, Washington's Crossing of the Delaware, and more.<br><br>Focusing on educational skills in listening, observation, separating fact from fiction, and pursuing journalistic accuracy, gameplay complements the comprehensive historical references to Revolutionary War period heroes by letting kids learn about people like George Washington, Paul Revere, and Thomas Jefferson, among others.
