Dear Parent, Many of you told us that you’d like to hear more about what’s happening in the world of Club Penguin. Our goal with this periodic email is to give you more ways to connect with your kids about something they’re interested in. Here’s what’s going on in the month of December, and some ways you can get involved with your child.

		Coins For Change We love how passionate our players are when it comes to helping others. Every year they give their virtual coins to create change in the real world. Together we’ve helped 200,000 kids go to school, provided medical care for 2 million people and protected 13 endangered species and their habitats across the world. And we’ll continue to do more with this year’s Coins For Change.

		Our Gift to You Help your little penguin make a difference – surprise them with a 500 coin booster. Just give them this code toredeem coins online: DECNLR10

What’s New !!

Hello Penguins!

Last week we asked what you’re doing to raise donations for Coins For Change and Joiceful said:

I am a tour guide so each year when CFC comes along, I do a “Coins for Change Tour” which takes people to games and then to CFC pots. They donate to each pot and then I thank them for making a difference. I squeeze donating into touring for the perfect Holiday combo!!!

Thanks Joiceful – that sounds awesome! Tours are a great way to spread the word about Coins For Change.

The Holiday Party is coming up fast, so this week we want to know - what are you doing to celebrate the holidays in your own home?

Some of your favorite rooms and activities will be returning too.

What do you think? Let us know in the comments!

This week we’ve been talking about giving… And on the subject of great gifts, we wanted to say a big thank you for a gift you gave us!

You awarded Club Penguin the Kid’s Vote for best website in the BAFTA awards. For those of you who don’t know, BAFTA stands for – British Academy of Film and Television Awards – it’s a really big deal in the UK!

So a HUGE thanks to all of you who voted. It means a lot to us!

We fixed the Holiday Igloo Contest bug! Now when you submit your igloo, you’ll get the holiday message instead of the Halloween one.

Thanks for your patience and for telling us about the bug. Let us know if you find any more!!

Have you looked through the telescope lately? Check this out:

Rockhopper is on his way! He should arrive just in time for Coins For Change on December 17.

If you check the Beach, Rockhopper sent us some tubes. What do you think they’re for? Let us know in the comments!

In other news, it’s time to start decorating your igloo. The Deck the Halls Igloo Contest is open! Good luck, everyone.

The new igloo items are out! December’s catalog is full of festive stuff to help you get ready for the holidays.

The Igloo Contest starts tomorrow – now would be a great time to start decorating.

Let us know what you’re going to do to catch the judges’ attention with your igloo. We love to hear from you!

In other news, some of you have been asking about getting bonus coins in December. Non-members who buy a membership between December 9 and 31 will get bonus coins added to their accounts. It’s our way of welcoming them to the island and helping them donate to Coins For Change.

Until then… Waddle on!

Last week we asked you what new igloo items would help you decorate for the holidays and Timeara said:

I really like the Coins For Change item, and the snowmen. For the Coins For Change item, you could make a box that lets you type in the amount of coins you want to donate. And for the snowmen, you could do what Rolo 23 said, but it wouldnt be a game, it would come with accessories.
WADDLE ON!

Thanks Timeara! We’ve seen a lot of you getting ready for Coins For Change. Check out Remy Ego’s igloo:

This week we want to know - What will you do to raise donations for Coins For Change?

This is my favorite time of the year! We just released the new holiday stuff in the Gift Shop and lots of you are already wearing the new outfits. You guys are fast!

We’ve got lots more festive stuff coming up for you this month. Check this out:

Here’s a handy list of what’s going on in December:

Dec. 9: New holiday igloo stuff is out – including some items you’ve been asking for.
Dec. 9-12: The Igloo Contest is open. Time to get decorating!
Dec. 16: The Holiday Party and Coins For Change start!

Now that you know what’s going on this month – what are you most excited for? Let us know in the comments!

In the meantime, here’s a sneak peek of what to look forward to in the catalog. What do you think?

We’ll launch the catalog as soon as we can and update you right away once it’s available. Thanks for being so patient with us.

Until then… Waddle On!

Halloween

Minesha — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 12:12:57 +0000

Hello Penguins!

The day you’ve been waiting for is here! The Halloween costumes have arrived at the Gift Shop. There are some great outfits for trick-or-treating (the Rad scientist is still one of my favorites!).

We know you love to mix-and-match stuff & we’re already seeing lots of spooky styles! Check out these fearsome looking penguins at the Town!

The team had a lot of fun designing the new clothing items!! Let us know what you think of them in the comments.

- Club Penguin Team

Club Penguin Stadium

Minesha — Fri, 24 Sep 2010 07:09:20 +0000

It looks like there’s already a lot of competition going on…

Let us know which team you picked – and if you make it to the podium!

Last week we talked about green puffles being added to Jet Pack Adventure. We were curious what other games you thought puffles would like to join in on.

We heard lots of great suggestions. Here’s one from Njse2:

Maybe in sled racing black could make no snow for the others, white could make ice for you,orange could eat obstacles, blue could hit opponents with snowballs, red could do stunts, yellow could paint arrows to help, green could save you from falling, pink could dig holes, and purple could dance the snowramps after you. That woul be cool!

That sounds cool Njse2. Thanks for commenting!

Speaking of colors, this week the island is getting a new team: the Yellow Team! So this week we want to know – what’s the most epic sports moment you’ve ever had in Club Penguin?

Write your Reviewed By You answer as a comment. We’ll post one (50 – 75 words, please) in next week’s Reviewed By You. If your submission is chosen to be the feature comment on next week’s blog, we’ll add 10 000 coins to your penguin account. Don’t forget to use your penguin name so we can add coins!

Red, blue, green, yellow…. Which Club Penguin Team are you going to join? If you check today’s newspaper you’ll see there’s a showdown coming to the Stadium soon.

On Sunday’s blog, Happy77 asked what Club Penguin team color YOU might want to be. Lots of you said weren’t sure. So we thought a quiz might help.

Pick which one describes you best:

Option A:

you’re funny, chilled, you like telling jokes, and you love Jetpack Adventure

Option B:

you’re competitive, you’re LOUD, and you like to challenge your buddies at the Stadium

Option C:

you enjoy having igloo parties with your buddies, you’re loyal, you like being part of the team

Option D:

you like igloo decorating, you often hang out at the Stage, you love music

Check back in a couple of days and we’ll reveal which team personality you picked.

Greetings Penguins!

I have to say… you guys make great reporters. Last Sunday you asked some questions about the multiplayer Club Penguin Game Day! for Wii.

We talked to some of the people who helped make the game. Here are the answers to some of your terrific questions:

Diego2310 asked: “In the new game will you get the opportunity to meet any of the famous penguins?”
A: There’s a Dance game – so Cadence will be around. And maybe a few more penguins you’ll recognize, too…

20andy10 asked: “If you earn things on the game, will you at the end be able to upload them to your computer club penguin account?”
A: Yep! There are items in the game that you can transfer via Wi-fi to your online penguin account. You’ll also get an unlock code with the game.

Ninjaneal asked: “Will there be stamps for the game?”
A: Yes! You’ll be able to earn stamps (14 total) – and then send them via Wi-fi to your Stamp Book in Club Penguin! Check out your Stamp Books when Club Penguin Game Day! Wii comes out to see what stamps you’ll be able to earn on Wii.

So – Yellow? Red? Green? Blue? All the teams are gonna try to conquer the island. Which team are you going to join?

Until then…Waddle on!
UPDATE: Here’s an update about when the Club Penguin Wii game will be available:
