I loved this game. My younger brother, who is still a teenager, suggested that we try this game for my class. It has been so fun to play together. It has given us an opportunity to work together and bond closer together as siblings. The game is still new and coming out with updates often. I am looking forward to continuing playing this game and spending time with my family.

Grounded could be used within a library program to learn more about insects/arachnids. Using VR headsets, librarians could give teens the opportunity to see what it would look like to be the same size a spider. Teens would be able to see which insects/arachnids they think they could outrun, outwit, and out fight. I am sure there would be several arguments about which bug would be scariest and which would be the cutest.
