Tablet Turnover

Tablet Turnover is an activity in JumpStart Adventures 4th Grade: Sapphire Falls. It is designed to teach history, science, and art concepts at a fourth grade level.

Description
In order to collect gems, Sally and TJ must uncover them from beneath a pile of stone tablets. The player must make matches with stone tablets that go together. Matches can be made by clicking on two tablets to select them. However, only tablets that aren't covered by other tiles and have two adjacent sides free can be selected. The magnifying glass can be used to see more information about any tablet by clicking on the magnifying glass and then on a tablet. Once all of the tablets are cleared, the activity is complete.

Gameplay Instructions

Gems are buried under a pile of stone tablets. Help Sally and TJ uncover them by matching corresponding tablets. Use your mouse to play this game. You can select any tile that does not have any other tiles on top of it and has at least two adjacent sides free. Find two free tiles that show concepts or illustrations that are similar. Click to select them. If the two tiles match, they'll disappear and free up more tiles.

If you would like to see more information, click on the magnifying glass in the corner of the screen to pick it up. Move it over a tile and click again. You will be shown more information about the tile.
