‘Think Quick’ is a rapid response literacy game designed to encourage the practise of: Parts of Speech, Word Families, Grammar, and General Knowledge.

Two card piles will appear on the screen. To play, tap the green card pile to reveal the category card, e.g. an action. Then tap the red card pile to reveal the letter you need to start your answer with, e.g. C. ‘Think Quick’ and be the first to come up with ‘an action’ starting with ‘C’.

If you are stuck, you can redraw to reveal a new letter. Level 3 is more suitable for Grade 1 onwards. Level 4 is more suitable for Gr 3 onwards, and Level 5 is considered ‘expert’… are you up for the challenge?
