Cookie Monster has become something of a web video star this year, amassing over 1.5 million views in his recent campaign for a hosting gig on SNL, and posting regular video blog on his Facebook page and Tumblr. Now he’s even got his own interactive YouTube game! ‘Sink or Float?’ is a fun new educational game that leads viewers through experiments to find out if different objects sink or float.
Over the last year, or even two, there have been quite a number of interactive games on YouTube. However, this is the first one I’ve seen that is actually educational and appropriate for kids. The game is a fantastic way to teach kids about the scientific method, starting out by asking a question, then coming up with a hypothesis and then testing that hypothesis. I hope that we’ll see a lot more fun interactive YouTube games for kids from Sesame Street and the loveable Cookie Monster.
