Do your kids play any of these online games? Do you play with them? What do you think of them?
In this show we spend a good deal of time telling you what we think about them.
We start the show talking about, of all things, paninis. You have to listen to understand. Then, we make brief mention of Rachael Ray (yum-o!) and WiiFit.
Download today's show to hear about New Year's Resolutions and follow up information from past shows!
Do you take time to reflect on the past year? The PKTR hosts believe that's the best way to make resolutions for the coming year. Think about the past year, then figure out what you'd like to change, then do it!
We will give you plenty of ideas for resolutions as well as some tips for those who make the typical "get organized" resolution.
Here's the website for A Complaint Free World. That's the resolution the hosts thought would be one of the best you could do with your whole family.
The idea is this: you wear some kind of token (like their purple complaint-free-world bracelet pictured above) on your wrist for 21 days and refrain from complaining, criticizing and gossiping. Any time you do one of those (complain, criticize or gossip) you have to start your 21 day count all over again and switch the wrist (to remind you to start over). It's a great idea!
It's the last show of the year, so we wanted to clean up our PKTR house, so to speak. You'll hear the PKTR hosts clear up some things from past shows (having to do with Webkinz (grrr....), Club Penguin, Kindle and a really lousy video game).
Finally, you'll hear them announce a couple of great new online communities for tweens:
It's December first, so it's time for our First of the Month Free for All!!
Iceberg in Club Penguin (Step 1)
The PKTR hosts want your help in solving their vexing question: Can anyone ever really tip the iceberg in Club Penguin?? If you or someone you know play(s) Club Penguin, you probably know what we're talking about. Can you solve the mystery? Put the rumor to rest? Help us sleep better at night??? Please?? Leave a comment or send us an email to pktalkradio@yahoo.com.
If you want to have a chuckle, visit their site. It will make you smile.* Probably goes without saying, but...we sure don't recommend that you say that little sentence in anger!! It's just meant as a silly thing. And we mean that!
In fact, to remind us all how important it is not to say angry things around kids, we mentioned the following intense (NOT FOR KIDS) video that makes the point better than we could:
Note: We hope that's not too preachy (or something), just wanted to put the whole thing in context... it's hard to watch, though...(NOT FOR KIDS)
It's a terrific way for kids to learn some Spanish words, see their favorite Disney characters and interact with that electronic keypad. Fun, educational and on sale, too!

These are some of the other great titles the hosts recommended in today's show. Sponge Bob's Sea Sale**
Here's the great book one of the hosts mentioned that you can just check out of your local library (and this one's for your own enjoyment).
And finally, here's the dog the PKTR hosts mentioned in today's show!
