πŸ¦’ Hush Safari πŸ¦’

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!

How Hush Safari works

1. Settle into the grass

Choose a lesson length, press Start the Safari, and allow the microphone. The monitor listens for a moment to learn how your room sounds when it is calm.

2. Quiet brings the animals out

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.

3. Noise stirs up the dust

Too much chatter blows a dust storm across the savanna and the animals run off, only coming back once it is calm. Tip: challenge the class to spot all nine animals before the bell, and let students guess which animal will come out next.

Hush Safari questions

Is Hush Safari free to use?

expand_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.

Can the class lose progress in Hush Safari?

expand_more

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.

What age group is Hush Safari best for?

expand_more

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.

The Hush Safari scene isn't reacting to sound. What should I check?

expand_more

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.
