Questions parents ask
Which animal games suit a four-year-old?
Animal Sounds, Feed the Animals, Pet Groomer and Count the Fish — no reading, no time pressure.
Are any of them scary?
No. Snake is a friendly cartoon snake, the food chain is a picture sequence, and nothing gets hurt.
Is there a pet to look after?
Yes — Pet Groomer. It doesn't need daily visits and nothing dies.
Is there anything to buy?
No pop-ups and no sign-up.
About these games
What they practise and where to go next
›
Animals are the way into almost everything for a four-year-old, so this page is the biggest of the theme pages and the gentlest. The youngest games are about recognising: Animal Sounds and Feed the Animals. Then caring: Pet Groomer. Then the animal is the hero of an arcade game — Snake, Flying Galah, Chicken Crossing's chick, the kangaroo in Maze Runner, the koala in Koala Kart.
Mixed in are the learning games that happen to have animals: Count the Fish, Skip Counting's frog, Animal Homes for geography, Life Cycle and Food Chain for science. Nothing on the page is scary; the food chain is drawn, not shown.
What they practise
- Animal names, sounds and what they eat
- Caring routines — washing, feeding, grooming
- Where animals live: homes, habitats, continents
- Life cycles and food chains
- Counting, timing and steering, with an animal to root for
