What is Bubble Pop?
In Bubble Pop every letter of the word floats up as its own bubble, mixed with decoy letters. Children pop bubbles to drop letters into the answer boxes. Bubbles that drift off the top loop back round, so a child is never stuck waiting for one particular letter.
The game never tells a child whether a letter is right until they press Check. Wrong bubbles can be popped just like right ones, and any placed letter can be tapped to take it back or the Clear button used to start over. That is on purpose: it makes the child decide, rather than tap whatever is highlighted.
How to play
- Listen to the word (replay it or hear it in a sentence at any time).
- Tap bubbles to put letters in the answer boxes, in order.
- Tap a placed letter to remove it, or press Clear to start again.
- Press Check when the word looks right.
What it practises
- Spelling letter by letter
- Choosing between similar-looking letters
- Self-checking before submitting
Who it suits
Years 1 to 6. A good fit for tablets and phones, since it only needs tapping.
Every game uses the same word bank for your child's year: see the spelling word lists.
Bubble Pop questions
Is there any typing?
No. Bubble Pop is played entirely by tapping or clicking, which suits younger children and touch screens.
Will my child know straight away if a letter is wrong?
No. Nothing is revealed until Check is pressed, so a correct result reflects real spelling knowledge.
What happens if they get a word wrong?
The correct spelling is shown with a short tip explaining the pattern, and the word comes back more often in later rounds.
