Description
Excerpt: The Maryland Bay Game, an innovative and creative way to educate hundreds of thousands of children and motorists about one of the nation's greatest natural resources, the Chesapeake Bay, recently completed its third successful year. The Bay Game is designed to be played in the car while traveling from Maryland's Chesapeake Bay Bridge to the state's top summer vacation spot, Ocean City. Playing the game turns restless energy and a long car ride into an educational experience. The creative use of characters or mascots, Ol' Blue, Betty Lou and Baby Blue, help both youngsters and big kids alike identify with the Bay Game's environmental, historical and cultural messages while having fun! The success of this program is due to a multi-agency, intergovernmental and public/private collaboration. The Bay Game is published by Maryland state agencies, federal agencies and private corporate sponsorships.
