Classroom Noise Monitor🎈 Balloon Journey 🎈
When the class is quiet, the burner fires and the balloon floats higher, past fields, mountains and clouds, all the way to the stars. When it gets too loud, the burner stops, and if it stays loud, the balloon starts to sink!
Class goal: Reach the stars before the lesson ends!

How Balloon Journey works
1. Fire the burner
Pick a lesson length, press Lift Off, and allow the microphone. A quick calibration sets the balloon's starting altitude for your room.
2. Quiet lifts you higher
Calm focus keeps the burner glowing as the balloon climbs past fields, mountains, and clouds toward the stars.
3. Noise sinks the balloon
Sustained chatter cuts the burner and the balloon starts to sink. Tip: challenge the class to reach the stars by the end of the lesson, and have them predict beforehand how high they will get.

Can the class lose progress in Balloon Journey?
expand_more
Yes, sustained noise has consequences here. The balloon is sinking if the room stays loud for too long, so students have a real reason to settle down quickly. A few seconds of calm stops the damage.
What age group is Balloon Journey best for?
