Games your class will beg for

The classroom favorites teachers play most, rebuilt for one screen and team play. 11 games work with any subject; 4 are made for English practice.

Tile Grab

Answer right, flip a tile. Points, stars, bombs, and magnets that steal points from the leader.

Lucky Wheel

Answer right and spin the wheel. Win points, double your score, swap with the leader, or play again.

Ladder Climb

Answer right, roll the big die and move up the board. Ladders lift you, slides send you back down.

Memory Match

Answer right to flip two cards. Find a word and its picture, then the whole class says the word.

Paper Race

Every right answer moves your car. The team in last place gets a double boost, so nobody gives up.

Pop the Word

Critters pop up from holes holding pictures. Tap the word you hear before it hides again. Made for touch screens.

Listen and Touch

Oly says a word. One player from each team races to touch the right picture on the board.

Three in a Row

Answer right to stick your team sticker on a 3×3 board. Three in a row scores +5 and starts a new round.

Line of Four

Answer right to drop a disc in any column. Get four of your team’s discs in a line for a big bonus.

Hoop Shot

Answer right and take a shot: close for 2, middle for 3, far for 5. Will it swish or bounce off the rim?

Penalty Kick

Answer right to take a penalty. Left or right for 2, the top corner for 3, but the keeper dives and the bar is waiting.

Team Bingo

Every team has a bingo card of answers. Each answer gets called after its question. Three in a row shouts BINGO!

Balloon Words

Guess the secret word letter by letter. Every wrong letter pops one of Oly’s balloons. Guess it early for a bonus.

Picture Dice

Answer right to roll three picture dice, then make a sentence or a tiny story with them. Every picture used scores.

Mystery Picture

Right answers peel off paper pieces. Name the hidden picture first to win a big bonus.

Math, science, history and more play in 11 of the games. New games and seasonal themes are on the way.

Questions teachers ask

Do students need devices?

No. Oly runs on one screen: a projector, a TV or an interactive display. Teams answer out loud, and you mark answers on the screen or from your phone.

What can I make questions from?

A photo of a textbook page, a list of words, or just a topic like “animals” or “weather”. Oly picks the words, finds a picture for each, and writes example sentences. You can edit everything before you play.

Do you keep my textbook photos?

No. Oly doesn’t keep your photo; it is sent to our AI provider only to read the words. Games you make are private to you.

Does it work on a touch screen?

Yes. Students can come up and tap answers, tiles and pictures. Your phone can still be the remote, so you can see the answer before the class does.

Does it work for other subjects?

Yes. Pick Math, Science, History, Reading or any other subject, then snap a page, type a topic or paste your own questions. Oly writes multiple choice, true or false and open questions in your class’s language. 11 games work with any subject; 4 are made for English practice.

Which languages does the app speak?

For English lessons the game screen is always in English, because that is what your students are learning. For other subjects it follows your class’s language: English, Vietnamese, Spanish, Portuguese, Turkish, Indonesian, Ukrainian or Japanese. The teacher side is in the same eight languages.

Your next lesson can be a game.
