Volleyball

Volleyball is an activity in World of JumpStart. It is designed to teach spelling concepts. It can be accessed from the JS Sports Arena, or from the Quick Launch menu.

Description
In the first part of the activity, volleyballs with words on them will fall down from the top of the screen. The player must identify whether the words on the volleyballs are spelled correctly or not, and then click on the check mark (if spelled correctly) or the X mark (if spelled incorrectly) for each volleyball before it hits the ground. The objective is to get as many correct answers as possible before the timer runs out.

When the timer runs out, the second part of the activity begins, where the player gets to toss volleyballs at targets for fun. The number of volleyballs that the player gets to toss is determined by how many correct answers they got in the first part of the activity. The player can change the direction that their Jumpee is facing by using the arrow keys. To throw a volleyball, the player must push the spacebar to jump, and then push the spacebar again while in midair to throw the ball. This part of the activity is not timed, and lasts until the player runs out of volleyballs.

After the second part of the activity is complete, the player receives their score, which is determined based on how well they did.
