Classroom Noise Monitor🦕 Dino Valley 🦕
When the class is quiet, dinosaur eggs crack open and little dinos hatch out to play. When it gets too loud, the volcano starts to rumble, and if it stays loud, the dinos hide back in their eggs!
Class goal: Hatch all nine dinos before the lesson ends!

How Dino Valley works
1. Warm up the eggs
Set your lesson length, press Wake the Valley, and allow the mic. A couple of seconds of listening tunes the valley to your classroom.
2. Hush hatches the dinos
While the room stays calm the nine eggs crack open one by one and little dinosaurs wander out to play among the ferns.
3. Noise stirs the volcano
Too much chatter makes the volcano rumble, and the dinos retreat into their shells. Tip: challenge the class to hatch all nine dinos before the bell, and name each hatchling together as a mini reward.

expand_more
Yes, sustained noise has consequences here. The dinos are hiding in their eggs 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.
