Take the Kids on a Bay Area Scavenger Hunt

Sensory Sundays Are Returning This Month at Chuck E. Cheese

by Erica LoopApril 2, 2021

Between the bright lights, loud sounds and everything else that goes on inside, it’s easy to see how Chuck E. Cheese’s can overwhelm just about anyone. But for kids with autism or special needs, the sensory overload can be waaaay too much. To help, Chuck E. Cheese’s is bringing back Sensory Sensitive Sundays for kids with special needs.

Beginning Sun. Apr. 11, Chuck E. Cheese will open two hours early, just for kids with special needs at select locations. The program will continue throughout April on Sundays and for the remainder of 2021.

Sensory Sensitive Sundays (at participating locations only) will feature dimmed lighting, quieter dining and entertainment environment and a sensory-friendly arcade experience. Along with the sensory sensitive setting, the chain’s caring staff will be on-hand to help out and make the experience memorable for each and every guest.

Also starting today, Chuck E. Cheese guests can donate to Autism Speaks with every purchase. At the register, round up your purchases to the nearest dollar, and all contributions will support Autism Speaks’ research, advocacy efforts, programs and services.

“At Autism Speaks, we are so grateful to have supporters like Chuck E. Cheese who help drive our mission by creating inclusive environments for all kids,” said Autism Speaks Vice President of Supports and Services Valerie Paradiz. “Their Sensory Sensitive Sundays and round-up campaign bring us one step closer to our vision of a world where all people with autism can reach their full potential.”

If you’re not sure which locations near you will offer this event, get the list right here.

Feed Your Kids’ Need for Speed

by robin bratslavskyJanuary 14, 2021

Remember the days when mom or dad would let you sit on their lap and help them drive the car into the garage? Sure you were only driving 5mph, but it was still pretty awesome. If you’ve got a little speed demon in your family, give them a dose of some fast-paced and thrilling go-kart racing. Today’s indoor karts are designed for drivers as young as 5 or 6, and they can drive independently. The only requirement: drivers must be at least 48 inches tall for most karts (some require a height of 50 inches). This isn’t the type of place you’ll find located in a strip mall—these karts are powerful!

Fortunately, indoor kart racing venues are big on safety. All drivers are required to wear a head sock, a helmet and neck guard. All of this gear is provided at no extra charge, but you certainly can bring your own. Most places have an “arrive and drive” policy, but be warned that weekends are popular race times and you might have to wait a while. Prices are pretty standard across the board, so plan on spending about $20 for a multiple-lap race. Also: kids and adults do not race together. Speeds are pretty consistent, as well: most junior races (for kids) are held at a max of 20 miles per hour, while some adult karts go as fast at 45 miles an hour.

Here are our picks for an adrenaline-pumping day at the races.

MB2 Raceway
This popular birthday party spot is a hit with kids of all ages. Races are limited to 10 drivers, so kids have plenty of driving space for each 9-lap race around the indoor track. The ¼ mile track has strategically placed bumpers so drivers learn to maneuver their karts while keeping their speed at a steady clip (the cars can be controlled remotely, so if kids are driving unsafely, the operators can slow their kart). No reservations are necessary, and MB2 is open seven days a week. Expect to wait as long as one hour on a weekend. Fortunately (or not!) there is an onsite arcade to keep kiddos busy while they wait.

13943 Balboa Blvd.
Sylmar 91342

1475 Lawrence Dr.
Thousand Oaks 91320

K1 Speed
This indoor kart mecca is located in the South Bay area, so beach babies can get their race on! The state-of-the-art track is made from etched concrete — a change from the typical asphalt track. Junior racers (from 48 inches tall through 58 inches tall) drive 12-lap races in specially designed junior karts that have emergency shut-offs for extra safety. K1 also has a junior karting league for wee enthusiasts who really want to learn the nuts and bolts of racing. Like most karting venues, K1 gets super busy on the weekends, so plan accordingly. Don’t worry, though, your kids will find the experience is worth the wait. Open seven days a week, but they do close for special events, so be sure to call ahead

by Shahrzad WarkentinJanuary 24, 2020

Whether you were born in the ’80s or ’90s, the new PAC-MAN Tamagotchi from Bandai is sure to remind you of being a kid.

In honor of the 40th anniversary of PAC-MAN (yes, really), Bandai is releasing a new version of the Tamagotchi featuring the famous, yellow ghost-eater as a digital pet. Even if you didn’t spend your childhood helping PAC-MAN chomp ghosts at the arcade, chances are you owned or coveted the Tamagotchi digital pets, which were introduced in ’90s.

“Tamagotchi has been an incredible brand for Bandai America for over 22 years! Our 2019 Tamagotchi On release has proved to be a great success and it only made sense to bring two of the most iconic brands together for this huge celebration!” said Tara Badie, Bandai America Marketing Director.

Just like with the traditional Tamagotchi device, owners will raise, feed and play with their pets all with PAC-MAN’s assistance. In addition to rice, you can also feed your Tamagotchi PAC-MAn’s beloved cherries. This special edition features two mini games including a PAC-MAN game, two PAC-MAN mazes and two different shells.

The new PAC-MAN Tamagotchi is currently available for pre-sale and hits store shelves on Mar. 15, 2020.

Teaching Kids to Be Good Digital Citizens

By Tyler Jacobson

October 24, 2019

The other day, my youngest daughter and I were watching some of her favorite videos on my iPad when it hit me how different life is for my kids. Growing up, the most technologically advanced things we were exposed to were the games at the neighborhood arcade.

Now my kids are growing up in the age of the internet and they’re interacting with the digital world, whether I like it or not. It was up to me to teach them the ins and outs of being a good digital citizen. I wanted them to learn not only how to be safe online but also how to creatively, positively and productively navigate the online world.

The first step was educating myself on what my kids are up to online. I didn’t want to be one of those parents who are clueless about their kids’ online habits so I got curious. I asked them about their favorite sites, what games and videos they loved and why. It was an eye-opener.

Realizing that my kids spent a sizeable amount of time online made me decide to teach them some basics about good digital citizenship:

Respect themselves and others online.

My kids know that they are to respect others online just as they respect themselves. It’s so easy to hide behind a screen and hurl insults and abuse at others but how would they like it if someone did the same to them?

Additionally, I try to instill a sense of empathy in them by reminding them to think of the other person on the other side of the screen. I also constantly encourage them to be kind online and to try as much as possible to post positive, constructive comments and promote positive behavior online.

Protect private information.

From the time they were young, I taught my kids to be safe online by not sharing information that should be kept private. This includes things like their address, name, age, location, passwords, etc. As they grew older, I expanded this lesson to include discussions on the downside of oversharing information with others, even those they think to be their friends.

I remind them to read over anything before they post it and to think of the different ways it could be interpreted. Sure they might mean something as a joke but it could come off as offensive to someone else.

Verify the information they find online.

Something else I keep emphasizing to my children is the importance of verifying whatever information they come across online. Just because something is on the internet doesn’t mean it’s true. I encourage them to be detectives, questioning what they see and hear, recognizing red flags and doing their own research to verify the truth.

Similarly, we’ve had discussions about using digital content and the importance of citing sources, especially when doing schoolwork or projects. They understand that digital content is intellectual property and should be treated with respect.

Stand up to cyberbullying when they see it happen.

With cyberbullying being so prevalent on social media, I decided to teach my kids to stand up for those they see being bullied. They know they need to speak out about it or come to me should they encounter any form of cyberbullying. I also taught them how to flag and report such incidents to the relevant websites for action.

The conversation on being a good digital citizen is an ongoing one in our house. I keep discovering new things to address and discuss and I don’t mind because I know my kids will be better for it.
