In an effort to give learners the opportunity to experience the nature of the agriculture industry, the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) released a new educational game, “The Great Seed Search.”
In this simulation game, players learn about other cultures, geography and agricultural products. The game and supporting educational resources can be found at http://www.myamericanfarm.org/games/great_seed_search/.
Launched in 2011, the My American Farm is an educational game platform used to engage pre-K through fifth grade learners in the discovery of relevant agricultural issues. The free site offers 19 agriculturally-themed games. Educator resources, including lesson plans, activity sheets and comics, also are available.
