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. The fonts I used (Beetle and Gadugi) may not appear correctly in slideshare.

Your Score:

(Ideally a score would show up here. If I
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)
