Rocket Fiesta
Each question is one rocket flight. The question sits on the board at the top, and every answer is written under a smiling planet. Students pick the planet with the right answer, and Captain Dot flies her rocket straight to it.
How to play Rocket Fiesta
- Press Play and read the question on the board.
- Read the answers under the planets.
- Pick the right planet: click or tap it, press 1 to 4 or A to D, or T and F on a true or false question.
Right and wrong answers
One pick per question, and it counts. A right pick and the planet cheers with a burst of sparkles. A wrong pick and the rocket bonks the planet, and the right planet glows so students see the answer before the next question. The clock pauses between questions.
