This game is designed as short independent practice after an idea has been introduced. It does not replace direct teaching, mathematical or scientific discussion, or an adult checking whether the learner can explain the idea away from the screen.
Ask the learner to point to the exact verb, connective or report detail that supports each choice, then plan a complete report away from the game. Take a break when you need one.
Does it need an account? No. The game runs in the browser and asks for no name, email address, school or location.
Is it timed? Timing varies by activity. Check the available modes and instructions before starting.
Can it be used on a phone? Controls vary by game. Use the on-screen buttons or read the instructions for keyboard and drag actions.
