Ideas for the classroom
Four ways teachers use it
Put a maths race or a spelling game on the whiteboard and play as a class before the lesson starts.
Give each group a grade or subject page. Games are short, so groups rotate cleanly.
A bookmarked grade page is a quiet, safe place for students who finish ahead.
Pair a game with the matching worksheet — count the fruit on screen, then on paper.
Good to know
Before you put it on the whiteboard
- Bookmark a grade page (e.g. tinyplayers.games/grade-2-games) so students land on the right games.
- Games remember a device's recent games and best scores locally — nothing leaves the device.
- Sound can be muted in every game; nothing autoplays with audio.
- Two-player games are same-screen only — there is no online multiplayer or chat.
- Printables are A4 and print in black and white; each has a name and date line.
- Something not working on your school network? Email us — we'll check it.
A teacher’s guide
Browser games for the classroom — no logins, works on school iPads
›
Most “free” educational game sites cost a teacher something: a class roster to upload, student logins to hand out, a premium tier that unlocks the good levels, or pop-ups you would not want on the whiteboard. Tiny Players is a website with none of that. Every game opens from a link, in Safari or Chrome, on the devices you already have, with nothing to install and nobody to sign in. That is the whole pitch, and it is why it works on a school network with no IT ticket.
Where it fits in a lesson
- Warm-up on the whiteboard (3–5 min). One game, whole class, hands up for the answer: Times Tables, Number Bonds, Flag Quiz, Clock Reader.
- Rotation station. Bookmark the grade page on the iPads; the group works through it while you run guided reading. Games remember recent plays on the device, so the same iPad picks up where it left off.
- Early finishers. A puzzle page is the ideal “when you’re done” task — puzzles are quiet, untimed and self-explaining.
- Practice for the topic of the week. Every subject page is arranged in teaching order, so you can point at the rung you are on: maths, reading & spelling, times tables, money, typing, geography.
- Home link. Put a grade page in the newsletter; parents get the For parents page, which explains the safety promises in their terms.
Grade pages to bookmark
Each grade page holds every game suitable for that year, sorted into Learning, Arcade, Puzzle and so on, with a short guide underneath written for the adults: Pre-K · Kindergarten · Grade 1 · Grade 2 · Grade 3 · Grade 4 · Grade 5+. The ages are approximate — grades map to Australian, UK and US years slightly differently — so pick by what the class is doing rather than the label.
Devices and network
It is a static website: HTML, images and small game files served from a content network, no video, no plug-ins, no app store. It runs on the 10.2-inch school iPad (we test on it), Chromebooks, Windows and Mac laptops and interactive whiteboards. A class of thirty loading a game at once is a few megabytes in total. Nothing needs to be whitelisted beyond tinyplayers.games itself; if your filter blocks it, the contact page has what your IT team needs. Sound can be muted in every game and nothing autoplays with audio, so it is safe on a shared trolley.
Student data and school policies
There are no accounts, so we hold no student names, emails, ages or records — there is nothing to add to a data register and nothing to delete at the end of the year. Progress is not tracked centrally; each device keeps its own recent games and best scores in the browser, and that never leaves the device. The site sets one cookie for aggregate usage statistics, which can be declined in the banner without losing anything. There is no chat, no comments, no user-generated content and no online multiplayer; two-player games are on one screen. The privacy policy is one page and written to be read.
Printables
The printables are 24 A4 worksheets — colouring, counting, letters, mazes — that print in black and white with a name and date line, free for classroom copying. Many pair with a game: count the fruit on screen, then on paper; trace the letter on the iPad, then with a pencil. New sheets are added most weeks, and teacher requests go to the top of the list.
Common questions
Quick answers
›
Is Tiny Players free for schools?
Yes. Every game and every printable is free for any class size, with no licences, logins or sign-up.
Are there free typing games for the computer lab?
Yes, three, in teaching order: Home Row Hero puts fingers on the home row, Typing Game practises single letters with a quokka catching each one, and Typing Pets builds up to short words. They work best on a real keyboard.
Which free maths games suit the classroom?
Number Bonds and Count the Fish for the youngest, Math Race and Skip Counting for Grades 1–2, Times Tables Blaster and Fraction Pizza for Grades 3–5, and Coin Counter and Clock Reader for money and time. The maths games page sorts them all by grade.
Do students need an account?
No. There are no accounts or logins on Tiny Players, so nothing to set up and no student data to manage.
Does it work on our school iPads / Chromebooks?
Yes — it's a website, so it runs in Safari or Chrome with nothing to install. We test on the 10.2″ iPad and on Chromebooks.
Can I share it with parents?
Please do. There's a For parents page you can link in a newsletter.
Is there anything I need to whitelist?
Only tinyplayers.games. Games, images and scripts all come from the same site — no third-party game hosts, no outside networks, no video providers.
Can I track student progress?
Not centrally — there are no accounts, by design. Each device keeps its own recent games and best scores. For assessment, the printables work better: they have a name and date line.
Which games work for a whole-class warm-up?
Anything with a question and a few big answers: Times Tables Blaster, Number Bonds, Flag Quiz, Missing Letter, Maths Duel. Put it on the whiteboard and take hands up.
Is it suitable for special education or younger year groups?
The Pre-K page is built for children who cannot read yet: big targets, no timers, one action per game. Sound is optional and every game can be restarted instantly.
Can I request a game or worksheet?
Yes — email hello@tinyplayers.games with the topic and grade. Teacher requests go to the top of the list.
