Time to head to the farm! In this hands-on digital game, students complete different farming tasks as they respond to scenarios requiring teamwork and respectful communication. With each correct answer, they help move a job along, whether it’s planting seeds, growing and collecting vegetables, fixing a tractor, or mending fences. A farmer’s work is never done!

Students will read a short scenario and choose the most appropriate vocabulary, response, or action to use in that situation. For example, they might be asked how to respond when someone has a different idea or what to say when taking turns. This supports the development of collaborative language, active listening, and positive peer interactions in everyday classroom settings.

Some farm tasks require more than one correct answer to fully complete, adding engagement and a sense of progress as students watch the farm come to life. The game continues until all questions have been answered. At the end, students receive a wrap-up sheet showing everything they completed on the farm that day.
