Pronouns Game (Whack-a-Mole)

Whack-a-Mole-Style Game on Pronouns

homesitemapgames & tests pronouns game (whack-a-mole)
Here is an interactive game to help you learn or teach pronouns.

This game is an adaptation of the classic arcade game Whack-a-Mole where players use a soft mallet to hit mechanical moles that pop up randomly from holes on the game board. In the arcade version of the game, the idea is to hit every mole. This version is harder! In this game, the objective is to "whack" (actually pop) only the bubbles that contain pronouns.

If you pop a bubble that doesn't contain a pronoun or you let one return back to its clam, you lose part of one of your three lives.

A Quick Reminder

What are nouns?

Nouns are words that name people, places, or things. They can be anything you can see, touch, think about, or talk about.

Examples:

  • People: teacher, friend, scientist
  • Places: school, park, town
  • Things:
    • concrete things: dog, plate, desk
    • abstract things: love, freedom, anger
Remember: If you name something, it's probably a noun.
  • Pop the bubbles with pronouns to score points.
  • You have three lives. You lose part of a life when:
    • You pop a bubble without a pronoun.
    • You allow a bubble with a pronoun to return to its clam.
  • Speed is rewarded. The faster you pop the bubble, the more points you score (ranging from 10 to 100).
  • You will earn 1,000 bonus points for popping five correct bubbles in a row without losing a life.
  • Beware! The level increases as the game goes on.
  • Can you get in the Hall of Fame? Good luck!
