Lesson builder
One lesson, three ways to teach it: on the board, at each child's pace, or from a substitute's printed plan. Free, no sign-in, no accounts for children.

What goes in a lesson
- An explainer. 10 short illustrated explainers with Peabody and Crumb. Stop them where you like and ask your own question; move the question to another scene whenever you want.
- A Peabody page. A skill page, a book, a game: any page on this site.
- A passage you type or paste.
- Questions. Tap the answer, true or false, or draw it on paper and tap the box that matches. Three boxes each, one right.
Three ways to use it
- On the board. Step through it on the projector, show each answer when you are ready, and play the questions as a live game with the whole class.
- At each child's pace. A link children open on any device. They type a seat number you give them, never a name. You see, for every question, how many got it on the first tap and which wrong box drew the most, and where children who didn't finish stopped. Seat order, never a ranking.
- As a sub plan. The same lesson printed as a plan a substitute can run: minutes, what to have ready, what to say and the answer key.
Lesson plans
Write the plan around it: objective, grade, subject, standard, time, materials, warm-up, steps, a check for understanding, differentiation and homework. Attach Peabody tools, books and games and the interactive lesson, then print it with a QR code your students can scan, or pass it to a colleague.
What stays private
The lesson is a code inside the link after the # sign, which no browser sends to a server, so Peabody never has your words. A child's answers are sealed on their device to a key only your browser holds; Peabody can't read them. Results are deleted 9 months after they arrive. Please don't put children's names in a lesson. A lesson plan stays in this browser too, until you choose to share it.
