Visit the robot factory where you will mix and match various body parts to build a robot. With every correct answer, students unlock a new robot piece—arms, legs, heads, and gadgets—until their custom robot is complete and ready to celebrate with a dance!

This version helps students practise early measurement concepts by comparing the length, height and width of different animals. Students are asked to identify which animal is taller, shorter, longer or wider. It's a visual, engaging way to develop comparison vocabulary while strengthening observational and reasoning skills.

As they correctly compare animals, students collect robot parts and build their own unique character. The final reward is a cheerful dance party that brings their learning to life!

Key Learning Outcomes:

• ✅ Compare the length, height and width of familiar animals
• ✅ Use measurement language such as taller, shorter, longer and wider
• ✅ Develop visual observation and reasoning skills
• ✅ Build understanding of comparative language in everyday contexts
• ✅ Engage in hands-on, interactive learning through gameplay

How to Play:

1. Students are shown two animals and asked to compare a specific measurement (e.g. “Which is taller?”).
2. A correct answer unlocks a robot part to add to their creation.
3. If incorrect, the robot piece is not added, but students continue with a new comparison.
4. As students progress, their robot grows piece by piece.
5. When complete, the robot performs a fun dance to celebrate the student’s success!

Ideas for Classroom Use:

• 💡 Use during early measurement lessons to introduce comparison vocabulary
• 💡 Great for Early Years–Year 1 students developing spatial and visual reasoning
• 💡 Pair with hands-on activities using blocks, animals or classroom objects to extend the concept
• 💡 Replay the game regularly to build familiarity and reinforce comparative terms

Top Teacher Tips:

• 💛 Let students personalise their experience by choosing from six robot characters before the game begins
• 💛 Select solo or group play to suit individual or collaborative classroom routines
• 💛 Send the QR code home so families can explore measurement vocabulary together

Let’s Build – Looking at Length: Comparing Animals combines key measurement language with creativity and fun, helping young learners grow their confidence one robot part at a time!
