"Vocab-Tac-Toe" (Language, Elementary, Volume 2 - Comprehension & Critical Thinking)

In this fast-flying vocabulary showdown, students square off in a tic-tac-toe toss that turns word practice into a high-energy team game. Armed with boomerangs, flying discs, and quick thinking, teams define, explain, and use academic vocabulary to earn their spot on the board—mixing strategy, language skills, and movement into a winning combination of learning and fun.

"Swat It!" (Math, Elementary, Volume 2 - Strengthening Strategic Math Thinking)

In this high-energy relay challenge, students flex their mental math muscles while racing to swat the right answers using sticky hands and quick thinking. With a spinning prize wheel and a field of numbered “flies,” this game turns basic operations into an active team competition—building number sense, boosting confidence, and proving that math practice can be fast, focused, and a lot of fun.

"Hexbug Habitat" (Science, Elementary, Volume 1 - Foundations in Science Thinking & Exploration)

In this hands-on engineering adventure, students design and build multi-level habitats for tiny robotic Hexbugs—testing ramps, planning pathways, and solving real-time design challenges. As they sketch, build, and troubleshoot their creations, students explore key STEM principles and think like civil engineers, transforming shoeboxes and recyclables into bustling bug cities where creativity meets problem-solving head-on.
