Sure, but wrong

This game is unplugged. Your grown-up reads four facts. They use a very sure robot voice. Some are true. Some are not.

  • “Spiders have eight legs.”
  • “The sun is a planet.”
  • “Penguins live at the North Pole.”
  • “An octopus has three hearts.”

Vote with your thumb: up for true, down for false.

Now check each one in a book or with your grown-up.

Fact

Spiders have eight legs. An octopus has three hearts. The sun is a star, not a planet. Most penguins live in the south, far from the North Pole.

Think about it

Did the sure voice make the wrong facts feel true?

Write your own “sure but wrong” fact. Can your partner catch it with a book?
