Learn in weeks

Kangaroo Cravings takes learning sight words to a whole new level.

Hop along the path to a delicious, cheesy pizza, picking up “sight word” cards with multi-sensory dancing, singing, acting and drawing tasks along the way. Play cooperatively to beat the raccoon together, or play competitively for an all-out race. No screens involved!

Super Fun, Highly Effective

How to Play Kangaroo Cravings

Students will have a blast practicing 300 high-frequency words across 3 difficulty levels. During their turn, students sound out, spell and complete a multi-sensory action for each word. The objective is to beat the raccoon to the pizza if you play cooperatively OR to be the first to the pizza if you are playing competitively.

Your students will laugh their way to literacy!

A GAME WITH A PURPOSE

We’re all about improving equity in our educational system.

Clever Noodle is partnering with New Leaders, a national nonprofit that trains school leaders to run schools effectively, especially for low-income students of color who have historically been poorly served, and Dyslexia Alliance for Black Children, a national non-profit created by parents, educators and advocates driven by the urgent need to alleviate the double disparity of unaddressed Dyslexia and racism.

Together, we’re getting Kangaroo Cravings in low-income and underserved classrooms in 15 cities.
