For parents & teachers

The lesson hiding inside the game
In Fact-or-Fake and FRAMED, the “fakes” aren't random — each one is a genuine animal superpower pinned on the wrong animal. To win, a child has to actually know the creatures, which means the game rewards real knowledge and punishes guessing at confident-sounding claims. That's media literacy, dressed up as a daily puzzle.

Daily warm-up
Open today's Fact-or-Fake on the board — five claims, real or fake — as a 3-minute critical-thinking starter.
Spot-the-fake = media literacy
Every fake is a REAL animal superpower attached to the WRONG creature. Kids learn to question confident-sounding 'facts' — the core skill of media literacy.
Research springboard
Each animal page has the real fact, a full story and a 45-second clip — a ready-made jump-off for a short report or show-and-tell.
Printable fact cards
Animal pages print cleanly to a one-page 'specimen card' (use your browser's Print) for a classroom wall or a take-home collectible.
