About these games
Our picks and what they practise
›
Kindergarten age is when children start to enjoy a goal: clear a level, win a sticker, beat their own score. The games here give a clear goal on every screen, and the friendly hosts cheer every try. The first level of each game is made easy on purpose, so a five-year-old gets a win in the first minute.
About half of these games are learning games (letters, sounds, counting, shapes) and half are just for fun. Both are good for this age: the fun ones build hand-eye control and patience.
Our picks
What they practise
- Letter sounds and first words
- Counting, number bonds to 10 and simple patterns
- Memory, sorting and planning a few moves ahead
- Steady hands for drawing paths and dragging
