Instructional Ideas

• See who can get through the most levels in a given amount of time
• Allow individuals or groups to work on the game in free periods or when they finish with other work

Classroom Considerations

• All navigation is through the keyboard; game will not work as well on tablets with only touchscreens
• Ads on either side of the game may be distracting
• Game is not overtly Christmas themed, besides a Santa interlude between levels and jingle bell music

Pros

• Learners can start a level over without affecting their progress through previous levels
• Requires class members to use logic and strategy

Cons

• None
