Froggy Jumps: what it is and how to make one
We are committed to continuously improving your experience; some elements of the video interface may not match the current one.
What it is
In Froggy Jumps, players have to get the frog safely to the shore by jumping onto the lily pads that hold the correct answers.
Each question has three answers, which can contain text and images. Questions can also include audio.
Examples of use
- Mathematics: multiplication tables, division, basic operations.
- Languages: vocabulary, translations, grammar.
- Science: basic scientific concepts.
- History: dates, figures, events.
- Language and literature: synonyms, antonyms, spelling or reading comprehension.
- Vocational training: quick assessment of job knowledge.
How to create a Froggy Jumps with Ray
- Click Create game and select Froggy Jumps.
- Enter a topic, add instructions and/or attach a file with the content.
- Ray automatically generates a game ready to publish (with a title and description). You can review and change anything you like before publishing it.
Ray's advanced options
The gear icon gives you options to configure how Ray generates the game. Some are common to all game types:
- Output content: choose text only, or text plus automatically generated speech. Speech is capped at 1,000 characters in total per account on the Basic and Advanced plans; on the Academic plan and Commercial plan it is unlimited.
- Output language: the language of the game content. If you don't specify it, Ray detects it from the prompt or the file.
- Difficulty: easy, medium (default), hard, or a custom level (for example, “for primary school students”).
Froggy Jumps also has a specific option:
- Questions: how many to create (10 by default), or as many as the content you attach contains.
Source library
With the Sources button you can upload files to Ray (PDF, Word, images…) or select your own games for it to use as content for the new one. For example, generate a review Froggy Jumps from the PDF of a teaching unit, or turn the questions from a Quiz into a Froggy Jumps.
How to create a Froggy Jumps without Ray
- Click Create game and select Froggy Jumps.
- Close the Ray window.
- Enter each question with its three possible answers.
Answers can contain text and/or images; questions can also include audio. By default the correct answer is the first one; select another to change it.
Game options
- Lives: the maximum number of mistakes. By default, 5 (you can change it or set it to unlimited).
- Time: the time to answer each question. By default, 20 seconds.
- Random order: questions in random order (on by default).
- Questions per game: how many questions appear in each game. By default, all the ones you've created. If you set a lower number, each game picks that many at random from the ones created; if you set a higher number, questions repeat until that amount is reached.
With an Advanced plan you can remove the ads, add a background image, change the visibility (Public or Hidden), configure player identification (Optional, Required or no method), hide elements of the interface (Ranking, Restart, Social media or Correct answers) and add a custom final message.
With an Academic plan you can restrict the visibility to your guests or to the integrations you create (Google Classroom, Moodle, Canvas…), and remove the player identification link.
With a Commercial plan you can also customize the game with your logo and corporate footer, choose the colors and hide the Educaplay brand.
Information and publishing
On the Information tab you set up what your player will see before and during the game. Ray automatically generates the Title and Description; if you created the game without Ray, you add them yourself. Here you also choose the Language of the game interface (you can present the game to your players in any of the 27 available languages, regardless of the language of the content), set the Education level and add Tags so your game is easier to find in the search engine. Before publishing, use Preview to check that everything looks the way you want.
Frequently asked questions
Can I show each player different questions?
Yes. Create more questions than will be shown and use Questions per game so that a few are picked at random in each game.
Can I import a question list I already have ready?
Yes. Paste or attach your list in the Ray box or with the Sources button.
Can I add images or audio to questions and answers?
Answers accept text and/or images; questions can also include audio. You can generate the voice automatically.
Can I change the language of the game interface?
Yes. On the Information tab you can choose from the 27 available languages: Afrikaans, Aragonese, Asturian, Basque, Catalan, Chinese, Czech, Dutch, English, Estonian, French, Galician, German, Greek, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, and Ukrainian. The interface language is independent from the content language: you can have a game written in English and show the interface in Japanese for your Japanese students, for example.
Which features require a paid plan?
With the Advanced plan you remove the ads, add a background image, manage visibility and player identification, hide interface elements and add a final message. With the Academic plan you can also restrict access to your guests or to your integrations (Google Classroom, Moodle, Canvas…). With the Commercial plan you customize the game with your logo, corporate colors and hide the Educaplay brand.
