Set sail beneath the waves in this fun and visually engaging Digi-Game designed for younger learners exploring adjectives. Students answer questions correctly to collect colourful treasure from the bottom of the ocean floor; each gem and coin worth different point values depending on its size and shine!

In Let’s Sail – Spot the Incorrect Adjective, students are shown a picture and three adjective options. Their task is to choose the adjective that does not describe the image. With each correct answer, they collect their treasure and safely load it onto their boat, but watch out! If they get the answer wrong, their treasure sinks back into the sea.

Who will be the best adjective adventurer and gather the most gem points before the game ends?
