The kids at Putnam Elementary School got a taste of different games from around the world, on Wednesday.

McDonald's Passport To Play Program, made a stop at the school.

Along with getting to play the games from different countries, the students also learned fun facts about the foreign places, like their geography and flag.

"It's really great getting to go to all these different schools and seeing how excited all the kids are about playing the new games. You really get a chance to see how much they're learning from the experience. They are remembering what they learn about the countries, about the games, so it is very much an interactive experience," says Brandon Clough, Field Manager of Passport To Play.

Staying healthy was also an important lesson the students learned from Ronald McDonald himself.

The Passport To Play Program makes stops to different schools across the nation, year-round.
