For Oklahoma social studies classrooms
Practice that keeps every student involved.
Text Basketball pairs standards-aligned retrieval practice with immediate feedback, academic recovery, and a shot after every possession.
Classroom readiness
What teachers need to know
Everything students need is built into the game experience.
Flexible timing
Choose 10 questions for about 15 minutes, 20 for 30 minutes, or 30 for 45 minutes.
Read-aloud support
Students can hear passages, prompts, answer choices, and feedback read aloud.
English and Spanish
A clearly labeled language control supports students who benefit from Spanish translation.
Productive recovery
A first miss triggers a hint and retry. In matching rounds, correct pairs stay locked while students revisit the others.
No account required
Students can open a game, enter a display name, choose a length, and begin immediately.
The learning loop
Read. Answer. Recover. Explain. Shoot.
Correct answers improve the shot opportunity; they never determine whether a student gets to participate.
- 1ReadStudy a source, map description, dataset, or scenario.
- 2AnswerChoose the conclusion best supported by the evidence.
- 3RecoverUse a hint and retry after a first miss.
- 4ExplainOn evidence checks, make the reasoning visible or study a model.
- 5ShootTake a full, recovery, or rebound shot.
Academic effectiveness
Built for durable learning
Arcade Mode supports engaging retrieval practice. Learning Mode adds diagnosis, adaptation, explanation, and a parallel exit check.
Visible learning targets
Every game previews student-friendly ‘I can’ statements, shows the active target during each question, and reports results by skill.
Spaced mixed practice
Learning Mode mixes in cumulative course review. A missed or recovered concept returns several questions later in a different item.
Specific corrective feedback
Coach’s Challenge names the student’s selected answer, explains why it does not fit the evidence, removes one option, and prompts a retry.
Evidence explanations
Every fourth practice item asks students to explain their evidence. Students can write independently or study a model without losing their shot.
Before-and-after checks
Learning Mode opens with three diagnostic items and closes with three different items measuring the same kinds of thinking.
Device-local priorities
Concepts needing support are prioritized in later Learning Mode sessions on the same device; no student account is required.
Suggested uses
Fit the game to the lesson
Students can play independently, with partners, or as part of a whole-class routine.
Warm-up or exit ticket
Use the quick mode for retrieval practice at the beginning or end of class.
Independent practice
Use the standard mode after instruction or during a station rotation.
Full review session
Use the complete mode for unit review, remediation, or a substitute plan.
Team challenge
Set a shared class scoring target while students explain their evidence aloud.
