The premise of our game is to be given information about bees, and then answer various questions on the information given. The questions are not particularly challenging, but they are design for there to be an obvious memorable answer for the children to retain and hopefully apply to their everyday lives. Each question would have an audio option to combat difficulties with reading, and difficult words would have definitions when clicked on.
Here are some possible questions we created using the research we carried out!
