![]() ![]() I really recommend this game as a bonus you get weekly updates and 100 Star coins per week. What else do you need apart from: Lots of quests, an amazing world of jorvik, Lots of chance's to make friends and you could train, join a club IT HAS SO MUCH GREATNESS. I am here as a Level 19 and love the game. Me and my friend both got lifetime star rider on the same day had so much fun spending star coins getting everything we could from the bonus shop. A year later i made a new account got three months star rider had the time of my life with my friend. The graphics are the amazing ( Compared to all the other games i mean look at roblox ) I joined around two years ago and loved it i never got star rider. Star stable is an amazing world, packed with quests and the whole world of Jorvik to explore. If you are looking for a horse game that has an engaging story, a child friendly chat system, and amazing horses, I would whole-heartedly recommend Star Stable. There are, of course, ways to get around this, but it might take a while to figure out. The chat filter also bans any LGBTQ+ terms like 'sexuality' and 'gay'. Sometimes, it takes a while for customer support to get back to you, and can sometimes be not very helpful. Also, depending on where you live, Star Coins and Star Rider can be extremely expensive. My only complaint is that the customer service could be better, as could the chat filter. The graphics on the game are great, and have low pixels, so even less capable computers and laptops can run this game. The characters act and seem like real people, which is amazing. The story is engaging, and the lore of the game makes it even better. ![]() Good game there is occasional bugs and glitches but nothing is ever game ruining or changing they’re only every minor or basically unnoticeable the game is very pricey but star rider doesn’t have to cost £50 you can also get monthly star rider for £5 and you still get the same experience and monthly allowance star coins are also expensive But you can also save up or do chores or stick to only buying them every few months in larger amounts like 2000 overall it’s a great game and I’ve made many friends including some I’ve known over 5 years now I am now level 20 and have no quests really except the new Wildwoods and souf hoof ones that give no more then 20 XP at a time I do enjoy training my horses and role playing sometimes even joining clubs and participating in events and quests I’ve played for about 5 and a half years now with a recent break for 1 year and only playing sometimes but I defiantly won’t quit the game any time soon final rating is amazingly great gameĪmazing horse game for girls Star Stable is an amazing game for horse lovers and magic lovers alike.

Poor or little to no communication with their community. Constantly releasing horses, barely regard the older players and most quests that take 20 minutes to finish. I knew the game was pay2play if you wanted to progress any further than the first 2 worlds, but it only got worse from there. Instead of being a fun, online game, it became a money grab one. But when management changed, it went downhill. When I started, the game had a lot of potential. I'm a sso player, been one for the past 5-6 years. ![]()

After giving them time to think, have them discuss the question with their neighbor. After reading a passage in a book, ask your class a question that they must first consider by themselves. This activity allows students to pause and process what they have just learned. The students then select one of the everyday emotion cards from their personal stack of cards and lift it up to answer the question. For example, while reading a book together as a class, you may pause and ask your students what they think the character is feeling right now. After students have created their response cards, you can have them use them to respond in various settings. Have students create a stack of typical responses, including agree/disagree, true/false, yes/no, greater than/less than, multiple-choice options, and everyday emotions.
