Quick answers for busy teachers
Which grades is this for?
Designed for ages 3–8 — PreK through 2nd grade. Read-aloud friendly for the youngest learners; independent play for 1st and 2nd grade.
What does the game teach?
The definition of a verb, how verbs work in sentences, and five types: action, linking, modal, auxiliary, and compound verbs.
How long does it take?
About 10–15 minutes to play through every level. Each level is short enough to fit into a warm-up or station rotation.
Can I use it quickly in class?
Yes — no setup, no accounts, no logins. Tap Start Playing, project it, and go. Works on Chromebooks, iPads, and interactive whiteboards.
What devices does it work on?
Any modern browser — Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox. Chromebooks, iPads, Windows laptops, Macs, and interactive whiteboards all work great.
How do I set it up for my class?
Open the site, tap Start Playing, and project or share your screen. Students can answer aloud, raise hands, or come up one at a time — no individual devices needed.
How does scoring work?
Students earn a star for each correct answer. There is no timer pressure, and wrong answers show a friendly try-again hint so every child feels successful.

What is a Verb?
The core definition with simple, kid-friendly examples.
Action Verbs
Name what the background players are doing — run, kick, catch.

Forms of be, have, and do that help the main verb.

Two verbs as a team — has played, will kick, is running.
