RNLI creates Minecraft beach survival game to teach water safety to children

This Summer, the RNLI is launching year two of the charity's Beach Builder Challenge using the interactive video game, Minecraft, which allows children to create and build virtual worlds.

The Beach Builder Challenge, available to play from Monday 1 August, has been created by the RNLI to teach children about beach and water safety.

The RNLI has expanded the virtual world to include a Beach Island Adventure this year, which means as well as being able to create epic beaches, this year creative youngsters are also tasked with completing four levels in the Beach Island Adventure. The four levels are based on the charity’s Stay SAFE acronym: Spot the dangers, Take Advice, Stay close to a Friend or family member, Learn what to do in an Emergency.
