It's Memory!... but with... emoji sight words?
I know, I know... I went off in a different direction with this one. But it was too good of an idea to pass up! I might make more like it!
Students can practice random emoji sight words like "house", "zebra", or "heart" to their pictures in this player vs player or player vs computer game. Cards randomly generate using a choice of about 50 words and pictures.
NOTE: The video is to show how the game works. This copy isn't math based. It uses random sight words and pictures, not math equations.
Features:
* Players can play the computer or another player!
* Computer generates a different combination of pictures and words for you each game; it knows when students are right or wrong.
* A simple computer AI adds a challenge to the game. It keeps track of cards that have already been flipped and knows when they match. Sometimes it chooses to not match, simulating that it "forget".
* Four different robot card backs! They range from R.O.B., the friendly robot, to the out of control Zoe. Players can choose their favorite!
* Music and sound effects make the game fun and interesting.
* Runs on Chromebooks and PC!
JavaScript must be enabled and you must have an internet connection.
Running is EZ! Download the attached file and upzip it. You need BOTH files in the same folder to play. Double click MathMemorySightWords.html and play! That's it! The game should open in your browser and function!
Give the files to your students for them to play!
Email me if you have any issues!! I'm happy to help.
