Free Video Game Giveaway Putrid Putters Download

Today's full licensed video game freebie is getting mixed reviews, but it normally sells for $10 and today you can try it and see for yourself, so I figure it's worth a mention.
I am not into horror, myself. Although these characters don't sound really scary if they are playing miniature golf. Maybe it would keep the kids distracted while they wait for it to get dark enough to go trick or treating, if you're into that sort of thing. I know my youngest son will get a kick out of the gross name, anyhow.
Here's how the developers describe it. (I am not trying it myself, probably, although I have always loved real miniature golf, lol.)
"The Horror Palace Network is pleased to present a Windows-based PC Game called Putrid Putters, one of the best miniature golf games for the computer. Your goal is simple in mini golf: get the golf ball in the hole in the fewest amount of shots. It sounds easy but horror characters, villains, monsters and obstacles stand in your way! Choose from 2 entertaining and terrifying courses: Scarecrow Fever and Bloody Barbarians.

Summer Olympic Games!

In honor of the 2012 Summer Olympics going on right now, I have several freebies and resources related to it today:

- Homeschool Freebie of the Day announced today that Knowledge Quest has a fun project for your kids to work on during the Olympic Games that, as Knowledge Quest describes it, "will give them an outlet for their creative energy after they have expended their physical energy trying some of the gymnastic stunts or sprinting feats across your living room floor.

Their My Country Book will help your children record their favorite Olympic moments while reinforcing their geography knowledge and providing an interesting keepsake notebook to enjoy when it is finished.
I think my favorite part of their multi-PDF downloads is their full-color flash cards of Olympic countries, but all are really nice.

- ABC Teach has many Summer Olympics activities for classroom or homeschool, several of which are cool and free. (I like the word search in the shape of an athlete.) Check out their blog here: They have a host of fun games and learning activities that the whole family can use.
