Let’s find a gameFive free samples · Kindergarten & Grade 1 starting points
Start where your child is
Grades are starting points, not a test. Pick a familiar skill or explore together with a grown-up.
Count a little, spot a shape and get to know familiar letters.
Number sequencesFree sample
Fly through a number sequence and find the number that comes next.
How to play: Read the starting number and counting rule, then select the next number from three choices.
Say the sequence together before choosing. What changes when you count down?
Visual matchingFree sample
Look closely at an animal’s outline and find its matching shadow.
How to play: Drag each animal onto the silhouette with the same shape. Match the whole group to continue.
Look for a clue: the shape of the ears, the legs or the tail.
Letter recognitionFree sample
Meet a group of letter bears and find the letters that match the target.
How to play: Look at the big target letter, then select every matching letter in the group.
Name the target letter together. Which lines or curves help you recognize it?
Build number bonds and explore words that describe where things are.
Number bonds to tenFree sample
Count the stars in a ten-frame and work out how many more make ten.
How to play: Choose the number of empty spaces. The game’s arcade sign calls this “Complete to 10.”
Four stars leave six empty spaces: 4 and 6 make 10. Can you see the spaces without counting each one?
Position wordsFree sample
Explore a pirate ship and describe where the treasure is compared with the chest.
How to play: Look at the treasure and choose the word that describes its position.
Try a position word with a real object too: put a toy above, beside or inside a box.
Keep the curiosity going

Explore this activityThe five games pictured here are samples you can try without signing in. The play site may ask you to create an account after several games. Other games in the full catalogue may be marked premium; these sample links do not require a paid subscription.
Some games include written directions or word choices. Start together, read any unfamiliar directions aloud and point to the part of the screen the task is asking about. The letter-matching sample practices recognizing a target letter; it is different from sounding out a word.
The game screens have large illustrated scenes. A tablet or computer gives you more space, especially for dragging animals onto shadows. On a phone, turn it sideways and check that your child can comfortably see and reach the choices.
Our free sample selection focuses on early skills. For older children, explore the math activities by grade, story planner or word problem generator. These resources explain their format so you can choose a browser activity, writing tool or offline game.
