Visit the robot factory where creativity takes centre stage! In this engaging digital game, students explore a series of colourful image sets to select three that meet the target criteria. Each correct group earns them a new robot part, bringing them one step closer to completing their robot masterpiece!

This version of the game focuses on visual discrimination and categorisation skills. Students carefully analyse groups of images to find three that match a specific concept or rule. It’s an excellent way to support early reasoning, vocabulary development, and concept reinforcement in an interactive format.

Show Me 3 – Let’s Build can be used to reinforce sorting, describing, and comparing attributes in a wide range of content areas. As students complete each round, they build a unique robot, culminating in a fun, animated celebration once their creation is complete!
