Four games to play with your child
Spell my name
Your child taps the letters of their name one at a time and hears each one. At the end they hear the whole name, and confetti falls.
Say each letter along with the game, then say their name together at the end.
- It spells the nickname you typed for them, so it can be what you call them at home.
- Each letter wiggles as it's said, so they can see which one they heard.
- Every place has its own letter tiles, and your child picks the place first.
Trace
Your child traces letters and numbers with a finger, so they can start writing before they can hold a pencil. Each one comes with a demo, a faint model to trace over, a dot where it starts and arrows that show the way.
While the demo plays, draw the letter in the air together. Then let them trace it.
- Pick a word, their name or numbers. A word has 3 to 8 letters, comes with a picture and is said before and after.
- It covers all 26 capital letters and the numbers 0 to 9.
- There are no levels, so every letter gets the full guide every time.
- You can replay each one later, at the speed they drew it.
Count
Your child counts critters along with the game. Each tap lights one up and says the next number, and a lit one can't be counted twice.
Count out loud with the game, and hold up a finger for each one.
- Pick by picture: up to 3 in a row for the youngest, or 4 to 10 scattered across the scene.
- They count frogs, penguins, hot dogs, aliens, gummy bears or dinosaurs, depending on the place.
- Each total lands on a tile before the next set comes. Four sets make a round.
Starts like…
Your child hears a picture's word and taps the letter it starts with. A wrong tap gets "Try again", then a hint, then the answer, which waits for them to tap it.
Say the word together before they choose, and let the game give the hints.
- It uses B, D, J, K, P, T, V and Z, because each one's name starts with its sound.
- The first round opens with their name's first letter when it's one of those, as in "Bella… bear."
- Younger children can match pictures instead, finding the one that starts like ball.
- Letters they're still learning come up more often, and you can see which ones they know.
