Egyptian Geography: In Class

Egyptian Feud: the Lesson Summary plays as a game show (the header's button switches back to the classroom). Each board asks for the most common answers to an English prompt — pick the Egyptian tiles that are on it. Most tiles are decoys: one that is not on the board is a strike and costs 10 points, and answers you find after a strike still go up but score nothing. You stay on the board until every answer is found. Build rounds ask you to put a sentence in order; a wrong one comes back later and scores nothing when it does. The Test type row sets the mix of boards and build rounds.
Who Can Speak Egyptian?: any of the last five levels before the Lesson Summary — and, behind the Feud, the Summary itself — plays as a prime-time quiz show (the header's button switches back to the classroom). Fifteen questions, three lifelines — 50:50, Ask the Audience, Phone a Friend — and every answer glows as a final answer before it is marked. There is no failing: a wrong answer keeps what is banked, and the question comes round again until you get it right.
How to play: the teacher (المعلم) writes an ENGLISH word or sentence on the board and you give it back in Egyptian. Most questions are four choices — each shows the Arabic with its reading, and the two small buttons beside it copy it to your clipboard and say it aloud, as often as you like. A SENTENCE may instead arrive as a bank of scrambled words: tap them into the right order, and tap any word again to take it back out before you check. Right, and the teacher cheers you on; wrong, and you are told the answer, the teacher encourages you, and the question comes back around later until you get it right. There is no failing — the class ends when every word is answered, and the marking says how many you cleared first time. The expand button on the room takes the class full screen with the question and the four answers still on screen. The lesson is always the full one — it covers every word the classroom asks: the world and its map (العالم, خريطة), what a continent is and how to point at one (قارة, دي), the continents and the countries (أفريقيا, مصر, الصين), the capitals and cities (القاهرة, باريس), the compass (شمال, جنوب, شرق, غرب), the Nile and the seas (النيل, البحر الأحمر), the mountains, the deserts and the longest rivers (جبل, إيفرست, الصحرا الكبرى), and the history the lesson tells — the pharaohs, the pyramids, the Sphinx, Karnak, the High Dam and the Suez Canal — with the question that asks after any of them (… صح؟).
