5.0 out of 5 stars Great program!
Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2003
This game (should I call it a game?) is fabulous! Based on a great PBS show, it continues to teach about the Revolutionary War. By interviewing key people (like George Washington & Sam Adams) the children can create a newspaper, similar to the tv show. Sarah & James help guide you around the sites of major battles & famous towns. For fun, you often have to find certain items to give to the characters before they will allow you to interview them.
The learning mode is great & took my 9 year old daughter about 10 minutes to figure it out and go to town. She has completed the entire game about 5 times in a month and still has not grown bored - the scenerios change every time you play!
I recommend this to anyone who has ever watched the show, but also for a way to teach more about the Revolutionary War. A good reader is needed, and one that can make good judgements to choose which interview comments to publish. This would make a great addition to a classroom library of software!
Definitely a great buy!!!

Very good and educated shows for kids but it doesn't have closed captions. On TV, it does but not on DVDs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Edu-tainment at it's best
Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2003
This is a great program that challenges kids on a number of levels, in a genuinely entertaining way. I love that they are encouraged to get both sides of the story, and to interview both leaders and ordinary people. Choosing the quotes to use is great for sparking conversation- whose point of view to use, which details are the most interesting / relevant. Being asked to go get things for different characters in order to get them to talk is an amusing sidelight, but the laying out of the paper- and seeing how many papers they have sold really gets them excited. And they even pick up some history from it! ;-) My 9 year old tore through it, and is now helping her 7 year old sister through it, both of them enjoying it hugely. Time for the Oregon Trail after this...

My daughter is enamored with all things Liberty's Kids. So we got her this for her birthday. We got our item on time and it seems to be working properly. There was some confusion with the billing, but it was resolved extremely quickly and with no trouble. I would definitely order from this seller again.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great game if you have Windows XP or lower
Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2014
I love this game to use for my students and children. The only problem I have is you need Windows XP or lower to play it. I have tried to run in on Windows 7 and I can't get it to run. I tried on my dinosaur of a computer last night and it worked fine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Educational Game!
Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2008
I have always enjoyed the TV series, "Liberty's Kids", and this game brings it to life and make history very real and exciting. While playing the game, children will interview George Washington, John Adams, Samuel Adams, Phillis Wheatley, as well as everyday folk. I was very pleased with this game!
