About

Holly the hedgehog is out spreading holiday cheer, and every friend she meets needs to answer her back. Students hear a holiday greeting, a question or a kind gesture ("Merry Christmas!", "How are you today?", "Here is a present for you!") and choose the reply a friend would give. Each answer choice reads itself aloud when tapped, so pre-readers can play on their own. A wrong reply gets a gentle spoken hint to try again, and the right one is said back. Eight short rounds practice greetings, thank-yous, "you're welcome" and goodbyes, ending with a holiday celebration.
