Learn. Earn. Play.
SmartyCard is the first true social networking site for 'tween kids ages 8 to 14.
Now you can include parent-approved, productive learning activities in your child's online fun with every log on.
Simply order a virtual currency SmartyCard on our site to create and fund your child's online account (chose economical memberships of $10 and $25). Soon you will also be able to buy a SmartyCard at a Target, Best Buy, or WalMart store, too.
Once the account is activated, your child can earn virtual currency SmartyBucks and account access by successfully completing short, 10-minite activities. Key learning subjects include science, reading, writing, math, social studies, and technology.
Your child can then enjoy “spending” SmartyBucks for rewards, including subscriptions and/or currency for virtual worlds as well as CDs, iTunes, books, DVDs, and more.
The more your child can learn to earn and play online, the more you will each enjoy the focused, fun, and rewarding experience of SmartyCard.
