New FTC Web Site Helps Kids Become Better Consumers
The Federal Trade Commission launched a new Web site that teaches kids to be more savvy consumers: www.ftc.gov/YouAreHere.
Set in a shopping mall, the site offers interactive games and activities that help kids understand key consumer concepts, as well as the role of the FTC in American commerce.
The site features animated guides who help children navigate the virtual mall and interact with shopkeepers and other customers.
Children can design and print advertisements for a shoe store, uncover suspicious claims in an ad, and guess the retail price of various candies based on their supply, demand, and production costs.
Parents can use the site to teach everyday consumer tips, and teachers can use it in classroom activities related to consumer economics, government, social studies, history, and language arts
