Apart from the basic story exercises, the site provides small games and puzzles which can be solved to gain extra points (exisiting extras are word-search, building an image from tiles and polls).
This issue is to collect other possible ideas and references.
Interactive stories
Stories that you don't just read, but which you can play through like a game.

Interactive globe
Finding countries on a 3D globe. A globe is good because it gives kids a real view of the scale of planet and the relative size of countries, unlike typical Europe or US centred projections. Finding countries around the globe could be a trail-like exercise, starting with the most common and moving onto rarer countries for more points.
This project from Google data arts has a clickable globe which could be used.
