Instructions for Famous dancers

Dancers have shaped how people move, perform and tell stories on stage and screen. This material introduces ten internationally known dancers and performers from different traditions: classical ballet, modern dance, tap, film musicals and pop music. Some were active a century ago and others are still performing, which shows how dance has developed over time. Students learn to connect each photograph to a name, building cultural knowledge that supports discussions about dance history and artistic influence.

Teachers can use it as a warm-up before a unit on dance history or as a starting point for students to research a dancer and present how that person influenced others.

1. Name the dancer in the photo (Photo to name, select one)

Multiple Choice - The level consists of 10 multiple choice questions (all of which have pictures) and all of them are practiced in every game round. For each question, the player is given three possible answers, only one of which is correct. It is up to the player to choose the correct option. The student has 3 hearts, giving them another chance at missed multiple choice questions during a game round. Questions have text-to-speech in English. Answers have text-to-speech in English. There is no time limit. When the student has selected all the correct answers, the game round is completed. If it is too difficult, the player can click the button labeled Cancel - then the correct answers will be displayed - and try to complete the level again.

2. Spell the dancer's name (1 guess)

Guess Word - The level consists of 10 words, but a maximum of 1 word are practiced per game round. The student has to find the word or sentence by guessing letters from the alphabet. If the suggested letter is in the word, it is filled in at the correct positions in the letter slots. If the letter is not in the word, a heart breaks. If the player can guess the correct letters and find the word before all 1 hearts run out, the round is won. There is no time limit. If it is too difficult, the player can click the button labeled Cancel - then the correct word will be displayed - and try to complete the level again.
