Interactive Game
Sentence Factory
Word tiles ride in on a conveyor — put them in order, catch the wrong word, and write one silly story together.
- Ages 3–11
Interactive whiteboard games
A projector or an interactive board changes what a game needs: text has to be readable from the back, targets have to be hittable with a finger, and the next action has to be obvious to twenty people at once.
These are the games that hold up on a wall-sized screen. Full-screen mode, one tap, and the whole class is looking at the same thing.

Questions teachers ask
Do I need special whiteboard software?
No — it is a website, so whatever browser the board runs will open it. Press F11 for full screen and the browser furniture disappears.
Can children come up and touch the board?
That is the point. Every control is finger-sized on purpose — spinning the wheel, flipping a card and adding a point are all things a six-year-old can do without hitting the wrong thing.
Is there a screen I can leave up all lesson?
Yes — the Classroom Screen puts the clock, a timer, the lucky-name spinner, the scoreboard, the quiet meter and dice on one dashboard. It is the tab most teachers keep open from bell to bell.
