Zucchinis in Technology?!

Your 2nd or 3rd Grade student may have come home talking about the zucchini people, so I thought I had better clarify! At school we have been playing Zoombinis Logical Journey. This educational game is based around the "Zoombinis", a race of small blue creatures which are depicted with varying eyes, noses, hair, and feet. They are peaceful and successful, living on a small island called Zoombini Isle. Their lives are interrupted by a race called the Bloats, who offer to expand trade routes and improve the Zoombinis' quality of life; instead they take advantage of the situation and enslave the Zoombinis. The Zoombinis therefore decide to flee and search for a new home, and on their journey they encounter a variety of logic puzzles which the player must solve. In case you are haven’t heard of the Zoombinis before there is a good intro on Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoombinis
