When the class is quiet, shy animals peek out from the tall grass and come out to explore. When it gets too loud, a dust storm rolls in and the animals run away! If it stays loud, they get even shyer.
Class goal: Spot all nine animals before the lesson ends!

While the room stays calm, nine shy animals peek out from the grass, bushes and waterhole one by one: giraffes, elephants, zebras, lions and more.

Yes. Hush Safari is one of the six themes included in the Free plan, with sessions of up to 30 minutes and no account required. Lifetime Pro (a one-time $20 payment) adds the other sixteen themes and unlimited session time.
Yes, sustained noise has consequences here. The animals run back into hiding 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.
Hush Safari works well from preschool through grade 4. Shy animals peeking out is an easy idea for young kids to grasp, and the dust storm gives a clear warning that even pre-readers understand.
Your computer is probably listening to the wrong microphone. Interactive whiteboards often take over as the default mic when they're connected. During a session, open the settings (the tune icon in the top right) and pick your computer's built-in microphone. The choice is remembered for future sessions.
