The problem

Kids learn better when they move. Two students stand in front of one laptop and race to catch the right word.

How it plays

How it plays

  • Left and right halves of the screen, each with its own hand pointer.
  • A deliberate pinch to answer, so waving arms never choose by accident.
  • The game says the word and shows the picture to find.
