Syllable Word Search vs The Basic Facts Game

Hard words are easier when you break them into syllables. In Syllable Word Search, kids find syllables on a board and put them together to build real English words, while they join Spike, the space explorer, on 27 missions across the planets. *** 2015 Academics' Choice Award – Smart Media Winner *** HOW TO PLAY Each mission shows a board of syllable cards and a list of words to find. Tap the syllables of each word to build it. Get it right and the cards disappear; get it wrong and they flip back. Clear the board to finish the mission and win up to 3 stars. 27 MISSIONS THAT GET HARDER The first missions are simple: short words, small boards and green hint cards that show which syllable comes next. As you move ahead, Spike adds new challenges: * Syllables must be picked in order, from first to last. * A limited number of moves for the whole board. * A time limit for the board, or a few seconds per word. * Cards that can only be turned a few times before they burn up. * Repeated syllables on the board, so you have to read carefully. * Bigger boards and longer words, from 2 up to 6 syllables. CREATE YOUR OWN MISSION Pick a planet (word theme) and set your own rules: syllable order, hints, repeated syllables, moves, flips per card, and time limits. Or start from a ready-made challenge: Hyperspace, Dangerous or Black Hole.
