How to play

  1. Read the prompt on screen, or tap New Prompt to get a different question from the rotation.
  2. Tap Full Screen so the prompt is easy to read from anywhere in the room.
  3. As students share out loud, type a short version of each response and press Add (or hit Enter) to float it onto the screen.
  4. Keep going until everyone who wants to share has — the response count at the bottom tracks how many chips are up.

Every classroom benefits from a quiet moment of reflection, and this tool makes that moment easy to run. A rotating gratitude question fills the screen in big, readable type, ready for morning meeting or the last five minutes before the bell. Students can type short responses as they share out loud, and each one floats up onto the screen as a soft chip, building a visible collection of what the class is thankful for that day. Tap New Prompt whenever you want a fresh question, or push the whole thing to full screen so it reads clearly from the back row. No accounts, no setup beyond opening the page, and nothing is saved after you close the tab, so it is ready to reuse tomorrow with a clean slate.

Frequently asked questions

Does this save our responses for tomorrow?
No. Nothing is stored after you close or refresh the page, so each day starts fresh with an empty response list and a new prompt if you choose one.
Can I control which prompt shows up?
New Prompt pulls a random question from a built-in list and never repeats the one currently on screen, so tapping it always gives you something different to ask.
Is this meant for older or younger students?
The prompts are open-ended and jargon-free, so they work for a wide age range — from simple 'what made you smile' questions to more reflective ones for older classes.
