Weekly Creation Theme: The Ocean
This week, create a TinyTap game inspired by the theme “Oceans.” Your game can be about anything: an audio/visual glossary of the ocean ecosystem; an environmental responsibility unit on the impacts of overfishing and habitat destruction; a math game on finding the sum of two schools of fish; a meteorology lesson on hurricanes and tsunamis; an exercise about what to pack for a trip to the beach … take the theme in whatever direction suits you!
Pro tip: flip your classroom and let students learn by teaching! Instead of assigning a game to play, assign a game to create! Just prepare a brief call-to-action.
Be sure to save your game publicly and write the theme #oceans in the game description or title so that the rest of the TinyTap community can play and get inspired by your creation!
The theme “Oceans” is part of TinyTap’s weekly series featuring designated topics.
Weekly Creation Theme: Colors
This week, create a TinyTap game inspired by the theme “Colors.” Your game can be about anything: an explanation of venn diagrams using primary and secondary colors; a soundboard of the color wheel; a foreign language game with color vocabulary; a science lesson on the visible light spectrum; a bible story about Joseph and his coat of many colors … take the theme in whatever direction suits you!
Pro tip: draw your own images with the app Paper, save them to your device, and import them into your TinyTap game.
Be sure to save your game publicly and write the theme #colors in the game description or title so that the rest of the TinyTap community can play and get inspired by your creation!

TinyTap Insights
Create groups, assign lessons, track progress
TinyTap is proud to launch Insights, a data management tool to leverage your favorite TinyTap lessons into quantifiable teaching resources.
Engage your students, improve grades, and save valuable time – all with this data management companion to an award-winning educational app.
Since its founding, TinyTap has empowered teachers to create the interactive lessons their classrooms need. It’s time to open up the hood and see real-time analytics. Which lessons did your students complete? How did they score? Are they improving over time?
When to Use Insights
- Formative Assessments: create tests, quizzes, and lesson reviews
- Digital Homework: assign a lesson, track who played, see how they did
- Project-Based Learning: let students build their own portfolios of interactive presentations
Start Collecting Insights
1. Create a Group
Once you’re logged in, start by creating a group – for your class, family, hobby club, or any other group you want to teach.
Pro Tips
- In addition to assigning your own lessons, you can assign your groups lessons created by other TinyTap creators. Peruse the collection of lessons created by TinyTap Trusted Teachers for the highest grade educational content.
- Flip your classroom and let students learn by teaching! Instead of assigning them a game to play, assign them a game to create! Just prepare a brief call-to-action (for example, instead of preparing a complete lesson on sea creatures, have your students create a presentation with TinyTap).
- Refer friends and colleagues – each new user who uses your referral link to sign up awards both of you one free Insight account for a year!
Weekly Creation Theme: Mother’s Day
This week, create a TinyTap game inspired by the theme “Mother’s Day.” Your game can be about anything: an interactive greeting card for your mom; a digital coupon packet for breakfast in bed, massages, and cleaning your room; a soundboard with all the things you love and appreciate about your mom; a montage of family photos… take the theme in whatever direction suits you!
Pro tip: make your Mother’s Day game more personal by using your own family photos! Just import them from the device on which you’re creating.
