A spooky-silly review game that gets kids talking!
Every correct answer earns a monster part, from googly eyes to spider legs, and every part is a chance to speak: "I want a long tongue!" Collect all eight, and Pip pulls the lever to bring your monster to life with a crack of lightning.
Pick a level from A1 to B2, a skill, and a theme, and the questions are ready to go. Or type in your own.

Pip pulls the lever, lightning strikes, and the monster starts to dance. Give it a name, describe it, and save the picture.
