How to Use Your ‘Magic Looking Glass’ Animal Game

To play, open the presentation in ‘Edit mode’. Students will look at the picture in the middle of the screen and determine which animal class the creature shown belongs to. They will then drag the star and place it over the correct answer. When students are ready to check their answers, encourage them to drag the magnifying glass to the answer box to magically reveal the right answer.
