This is a digital quiz (with 4 short rounds of increasing difficulty), because it needs to play sound for every question!
It teaches children the first step in learning language: identifying that spoken sounds they hear have (consistent) meaning. For this first step, merely recognizing that sounds are similar is challenging enough. So that’s what these simple quiz questions do.
We added an Audio Adventure ("Audioventure") as the final question set because it’s such a fun thing to practice and test this skill. But it might be too difficult for some children. (It’s a short spoken story about exploring a magical jungle, interrupted a few times to ask questions about the sounds you just heard or might hear.)
The Teachers resource for this topic practices more or less the same things. In that resource, however, the Guardian and Apprentices have to make the sounds themselves.
This product is part of the Trivia Kit charm. These are quiz experiences (like a pub quiz or trivia night) using our custom digital framework, allowing you to play on any device with a browser! Our framework allows a large variety of questions, answer types, rounds, interactive media, and other tricks to make the quiz as fun as possible. If desired, though, the entire experience can easily be printed and played completely physically too.
