Text Feature Creatures 
This game was created as a way for the fourth grade 
boys in the Research & Digital Literacy class I co-teach 
with the lower school librarian to review text features. 
It is intended to be played as a class activity on a 
SmartBoard. The boys take turns throwing a Koosh ball 
at the bug matching the text feature defined in the 
passing cloud.

Interpret information 
presented visually, orally, or 
quantitatively (e.g., in charts, 
graphs, diagrams, time lines, 
animations, or interactive 
elements on Web pages) 
and explain how the 
information contributes to 
an understanding of the text 
in which it appears. 
It could also be played by an individual on a 
personal machine.

were more skilled at VBA, I would 
program the game to award 5 points for 
each correct answer. After the first 
label/definition match, I would program 
the game to subtract one point for each 
incorrect answer picked in the four 
remaining match slides. Then the tallied 
score would be displayed here)
