Yes. Each student will need a Roblox account and access to the Roblox app or player. Always follow your school’s tech and privacy policies.

What devices work best?

How can I keep it academic and not just “free play”?

Before launching, set a clear digraphs goal (for example, “We’re hunting for sh words”). Pause during play to read words aloud, ask students which pattern they see, and jot words down for a quick sort or dictation after.
