How to Play
- Choose uppercase or lowercase mode, then either select a specific target letter or let the game pick one at random.
- Press Start and watch bubbles drift across the screen.
- Pop only the bubbles that display the target letter. Each correct pop boosts the score; misses lower your accuracy.
- Stop the game to reset and pick a new target letter or case.
Knowledge Background
This arcade-style activity reinforces letter identification, phonemic awareness, and eye-tracking. By pairing movement with sound cues (“Say the sound as you pop”), students strengthen the neural link between symbols and phonemes.
Why This Helps Kids
Young readers need dozens of exposures to each letter. Turning it into a fast, playful chase keeps motivation high and encourages selective attention. The built-in progress stats help teachers monitor accuracy without additional paperwork.
Extensions & Teacher Tips
- Challenge students to shout a word that begins with the letter after each correct pop.
- Switch rapidly between uppercase and lowercase to highlight the visual differences.
- Combine with movement breaks—have students trace the letter in the air with their finger between rounds.
- Pair with Pop Number Bubbles to toggle between literacy and numeracy fluency.
