About this game

Koi swim around a pond, one for each child in the class. Tap the water or press Space and a line drops in. The fish come over to look, one bites, and it is pulled up out of the water with a child's name on its tag.

Press again and the fish goes into the bucket on the bank, then the line goes back in. When the bucket option is on, nobody is picked twice until everyone has had a turn. When the pond is empty, the fish jump back in and it starts again.

How it works

1. Type or paste your class list, one name per line. The browser remembers it for next time.
2. Choose whether caught fish go in the bucket or back in the pond.
3. Tap the water to cast. The name on the tag is the child whose turn it is.
4. If that child is away, press Throw back and their name goes back in the pond.

Good for

• Choosing who answers the next question
• Picking helpers, line leaders or who reads next
• Making sure every child gets a turn across the week
