How It Works:
Students see a homonym word prompt (e.g., bat). They must select the two matching images that represent the different meanings (a baseball bat and a flying bat). Every correct response reveals a piece of the mystery picture until the full image appears. This game-like format keeps students motivated while reinforcing word meaning and spelling.
