What it is

A little theatre where sentences come alive. Children put word tiles on a sentence strip and the stage acts out exactly what the words say: a tiny fox jumps over a red box, two bears dance slowly on a drum. Swap a word and the scene changes, so grammar becomes something you can see. Every word maps to a reviewed stage action; nothing is generated by AI.

What children learn

Builds sentence structure: who does what, where and how. Practices word order, describing words, subject–verb agreement (jumps or jump), adjectives versus adverbs (happy or happily) and combining short sentences with compound subjects and predicates.

What it teaches

  • Adjectives and adverbs
  • Subject–verb agreement
  • Sentence structure
  • Combine sentences

How to play

Tap a word tile to add it to the sentence strip, or drag it into place. Tap a placed tile to send it back. Keyboard: Tab to a tile and press Enter; on the strip, arrow keys move between words, Shift+arrow moves a word, Backspace sends it back. Press Action! to check.

Plays with: Touch Mouse Keyboard
