Story Bubbles
Pop 3 to build your story — tap to pop, drag to fling.
How to play
Pop the bubbles
Tap or click bubbles to pop them — each one reveals a random object. Drag to fling bubbles around the pit first if you want to mix things up.
Collect your objects
Keep popping until you've collected a set of random objects. Three or four is a good number for a quick warm-up; more for a bigger challenge.
Build the story
Your student makes up a story that uses every object they collected. Push for past tenses, connectors, or a genre twist (mystery! horror! romance!) to match the lesson.
Frequently asked questions
What levels does Story Bubbles work for?⌄
Roughly A1 to C1. Beginners can simply name the objects and make single sentences; intermediate students build a connected story; advanced students can be pushed with constraints — tell it in the past perfect, make it a news report, or set it in a job interview.
How long does a round take?⌄
About five minutes — pop for one minute, then speak for three or four. That makes it a perfect lesson warm-up or an energy reset halfway through a longer class.
Can my student and I play it together online?⌄
On this page the game is single-screen, so on a video call you'd share your screen. Inside a Tuton classroom there's a multiplayer version — you and your student pop bubbles in the same pit in real time, next to your video, notes and vocabulary.
