Lace up your boots and start climbing! In this collaborative Digi-Game, students work together to climb to the top of the mountain by answering questions about capital letters in fictional titles. With each correct answer, they move closer to the summit, watching the scenery change as they ascend through forests, snowy slopes, and rocky peaks.

This game supports students in recognising and applying capitalisation rules to book, movie, and made-up story titles. They will practise identifying where capital letters should (or shouldn’t) be used, helping to reinforce sentence structure and proper noun conventions in a fun, visual way.

At the end of the climb, a polaroid snapshot shows how far the team made it, creating a memorable summary of their success and encouraging perseverance to reach the top on a replay!

Key Learning Outcomes:

• ✅ Identify correct use of capital letters in fictional titles
• ✅ Strengthen understanding of capitalisation rules and title formatting
• ✅ Apply sentence-level grammar in an engaging, interactive context
• ✅ Promote teamwork and cooperative learning
• ✅ Build motivation and persistence through repeated play

How to Play:

1. Students are shown a fictional title with multiple versions.
2. They must choose the option that correctly uses capital letters in the title.
3. Each correct answer helps their team climb further up the mountain.
4. The scenery changes as progress is made, offering visual encouragement.
5. At the end, a snapshot shows how far they reached and how many correct answers were achieved.

Ideas for Classroom Use:

• 💡 Use during writing or sentence structure units focused on grammar conventions
• 💡 Ideal for Year 1–3 students learning where capital letters are needed in titles
• 💡 Replay the game to improve accuracy and climb higher with each attempt
• 💡 Pair with title-writing tasks where students create and capitalise their own story titles

Top Teacher Tips:

• 💛 Let students personalise their experience by choosing from six characters before the game begins
• 💛 Select the number of players or teams at the start of the game to suit individual, paired, or group play
• 💛 Send the QR code home for students to practise recognising capital letters in a fun, supportive way
