Watch The River and the Bank in Action

The NEW River and the Bank

After playing with my classes recently, I realized the game was in dire need of an update. Graphics and sound effects are all upgraded. There's a new challenge in Level 3. "On the Bridge" you have a foot on the bank and one in the river. All 5 levels are now in one single video (but you'll be able to skip to the level you want). Play below or head to the PLAY: Interactive Arcade to play ad-free with early access to new games. 

You'll also enjoy the summer-themed version: The Ocean and the Beach. This version adds some new challenges in levels 3+. Duck under the waves and punch the beach balls. Check it out!

How to Play The River and the Bank

The River and the Bank is a physically active brain teaser. Can you keep up?

Put a line on the floor. When I say "In the River" jump in front of the line and when I say "On the Bank" jump back behind it. Make sure you're in the right place at the right time, because I will try to trick you. Jump with both feet at the same time and don't fall!

Parents may be wondering what their kids are actually learning when they play these fun games. I highly recommend sharing this video or this post so they can see it's so much more than a good time.
