Questions parents ask about educational games
What are educational games for kids?
Games where a child practises something useful while having fun: counting, hearing sounds, rhymes or first sums. Here a voice leads every game, so no reading is needed.
What age are these games for?
From 2 to 6. The youngest start with sounds and counting to three, and five year olds add within ten and blend sounds into words.
Are the games free?
Yes. There is no sign-up or account, and the games run in the browser on a phone, tablet or computer. The site shows ads.
How long should a child play?
One game lasts a few minutes. The World Health Organization recommends no more than one hour of screen time a day for children aged 2 to 4, and less is better.
How do I know my child is improving?
Every finished game earns a star on its level, three at most. Two stars make the next level glow as an invitation to try a harder one.
