The Explorations

Word Pop
Students use the provided box to catch the correct letters as they fall in bubbles. A prompt in the top right of the screen shows the word they are spelling. Narration in the games will pronounce each letter and the word as a whole to reinforce the lesson. Teachers can control the available words in the game through an easy-to-use administrative panel.
Where Am I?
Students use their bodies to learn directional and spatial vocabulary. By walking left/right/front/back, students will position their bodies in a prompted location. They can even float over objects by flapping their arms!
Shapes Around Me
Students match shapes to the corresponding place in real-world images. When a student holder out their hand, a shape will appear and they must place it within the real-world photo. An assistance prompt will be given after a certain amount of time.
Patterns
Students test their pattern making and star power skills all at once! This fast paced game prompts children to reach for the stars and then captures them in three distinct positions. The challenge? A pattern will appear with the student as the star, but with missing elements of the pattern. The player must strike the pose that matches the missing components of the pattern to move onto the next challenge.
