Tap the fish with the right word. 2. Wrong fish? A shark rams the boat and cracks the hull. 3. Three cracks and the boat sinks, and running out of time sinks it too. ## What your child learns It is one of our most played 11+ games, close to an 11 plus quiz for words, and good practice for verbal reasoning games and papers. These are the KS2 skills it practises. - Word meanings - Synonyms and antonyms - Context clues in a sentence - Odd one out Real examples from the game: Hook the word that means "very big"**enormous** Same as "dreadful"**terrible** The desert was hot and \_\_\_, with no rain for months.**arid** Odd one out: furious, livid, irate, placid**placid** ## Levels and difficulty Nine waters run from the Shallows to the Abyss. Fish start darting, golden fish pay triple, lookalike decoys swim in, and the murky water needs a lamp. Bosses chain several questions about one hard word, such as magnanimous or tenacious, and a Daily Catch is the same for everyone that day. Pip moves your child up when they are ready and eases off when they struggle. Each run is short and focused, so it fits before school or homework. ### Every level, in the free Pip app Vocab Fishing is free in the app, with every level and saved progress.
