Learning Fishy Quest — Dodge, Grow, and Conquer the Sea (ELA Edition)

How to play

  1. 1 Steer to survive: Move the mouse (or drag). Your fish swims toward the cursor.
  2. 2 Eat to grow: Green fish are smaller—swim through to gobble and grow. Red fish are larger—dodge or wrap the screen to escape.
  3. 3 Answer and resume: Every ~30s, a fast ELA question appears. Answer to keep swimming. Afterward, a quick 3-2-1 countdown drops students back in.
  4. 4 Win the ocean: Keep eating to reach “queen status.” On victory, rivals drop and confetti flies.
