​This APP is a great way for your children to practice the skills that they have been learning in their classrooms. It’s an easy way for them to practice sight words, phonics patterns, spelling words, and even math facts! It is very similar to the popular game “Heads Up” by Ellen Degeneres.
 
This game works just like Heads Up.
Kids are given a custom deck and player 1 places it on their forehead.
Player two gives clues to help player 1 guess the word.
If player 1 guesses correctly they tilt their head down for a point.
They can pass by tilting their head up.

Here is how to create your own cards: 
Press quick play
Then press, “Create your own Deck”. You will input all the words that you want your kids to guess that pertain to that topic.

​Enjoy!
