Questions people ask
What age group is this for?
It's designed for kids around ages 4 to 12. The options are familiar things like animals, foods, colors, games, and seasons, so even preschoolers can play with a grown-up reading the choices aloud.
How can I use this at school?
Project it and have students move to a side of the room for each option. It works as a morning meeting starter, a quick brain break, or a way to practice opinion writing, since students can write a sentence explaining their pick.
Is this or that good for shy kids?
Yes. Because answers are just a tap or a point, shy kids can join without speaking. Once they see classmates choosing the same thing, many feel more comfortable sharing why they picked it.
