New Features on PebbleGo
✨
Kid-friendly Design
We design PebbleGo for kids! To enhance their experience, we’ve added new ‘Hover’ and ‘Click’ animations with sound effects that make PebbleGo even more engaging for kids to
navigate. These new animations and sounds reinforce ‘Cause and Effect’ relationships- essentially showing young learners that they have the power to make things happen in the digital realm!
Custom Settings
🔇
Turning sounds on and off
These new sounds and animations are fantastic for independent student navigation, but in a group setting or without headphones, you might want to turn the sounds off. You can
do this by navigating to the top right corner, clicking ‘Capstone’, and tapping ‘Sounds’ or ‘Animations’ once. Tap again to turn these features back on.

camouflage. What animals do your students think of when you ask them to name winter animals? Available in English & Spanish!
