A night canal, amber paper lanterns, and a glowing firefly on the dock. A voice reads a sight word. Tap the lantern that matches. The firefly hops to that light. A clean hop scores. A miss slips into the water. Built for kindergarten and first-grade high-frequency words.
Pick a Path
Choose 10 hops or survival with three lives. Easy, medium, and hard change how many lanterns and how hard the words are.
Listen
Press Play. A voice reads one sight word. Tap the speaker if you need to hear it again.
Hop to the Match
Tap the lantern that shows that word. The firefly jumps from the dock to the light you chose.
Keep the Glow
Land ten hops in arcade or stay dry in survival. Best scores save for each mode and difficulty.
Hear, Then Hop
The narrator speaks one English sight word. Lanterns hold look-alike choices. Tap the match and the firefly leaps to that lantern.
Instant Canal Feedback
A right lantern glows mint and the hop lands. A miss flashes rose, the firefly slips, and the spoken word is shown.
Three Word Banks
Easy uses short words on three lanterns. Medium adds kindergarten words on four. Hard uses longer first-grade words on five.
Hear It Again
A big speaker button repeats the word. Space also replays it. Keys 1 to 5 pick lanterns from the left.
Lantern Leap is a listen-and-match sight word game. A night canal holds paper lanterns labeled with high-frequency English words. The player hears one word, taps the matching lantern, and a firefly hops to that light. The practice words stay in English. Buttons and labels follow the site locale.
Ears Before Print
Students map a spoken word to print. That is the core of early sight-word reading.
Look-Alike Choices
Decoys lean on near words such as there and their, so the hop is not a lucky tap.
Touch First
Each lantern is a large tap target. Play sits under the board, not on top of the lights.
Replay the Voice
Kindergarten players can hear the word as many times as they need before they hop.
The prompt is the voice. If your browser cannot speak, the word appears as text so the round is still playable.
No. The practice words stay in English. Buttons, hints, and results follow the page language.
The word list and how many lanterns float on the canal. Easy uses short words on three lanterns. Hard uses longer first-grade words on five.
Yes. Tap the speaker or press Space. The same English word plays again.
Pre-K through first grade, when students are learning high-frequency words by sight and by ear.
