These games were built for young children to play on their own at home, but most of them work just as well with a whole class. Each table below lists what students actually do in the game, the age it was designed for, and the setting where it tends to fit best. The setting is a suggestion based on how the game works, not a rule — you know your class.
| Setting | Games that fit | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Whole class (projector or board) | Scratch-to-reveal games | One child scratches while the class predicts what's hidden, then everyone says the name together when the game says it aloud |
| Turns at the board | Tap-the-answer games | One question at a time, so a different child can answer each round while the class checks |
| Learning centers (pairs or small groups) | Drag-and-drop matching and sorting games | A short, self-contained set with a Submit button and instant feedback, so a pair can play without an adult |
| Early finishers (one child, one device) | Tracing, typed-answer math and listening games | They need a child's own pace, a finger on the screen or headphones |
| Game | What students do | Ages | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Learn Alphabets A–Z | Scratch a card to reveal a letter and hear it | 3–7 | Whole class |
| Tracing Letters & Numbers | Trace inside the outline with a finger or mouse until it glows | 3–6 | Early finishers (touch screen) |
| Phonics A–Z: Letter Sounds | Hear a picture's first sound and drag the matching letter onto it | 4–6 | Centers |
| Sound & Blend | Blend letter sounds into a word, like c-a-t, cat | 3–7 | Whole class |
| Build the Word (CVC) | Drag letter tiles to build simple three-letter words | 3–6 | Centers |
| Rhyming & Listening | Hear a word and pick the picture that rhymes | 3–6 | Early finishers (headphones) |
| Rhyming Words | Read a word like cat and tap the one that rhymes | 4–7 | Turns at the board |
For the letter sounds behind these games, the phonics letter-sound pages give one picture word per letter with a short classroom activity.
| Game | What students do | Ages | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sight Words | Tap the word that matches, practising words like the, and, said | 3–8 | Turns at the board |

| Game | What students do | Ages | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|

| Counting with Objects | Count the objects in a picture and tap the right number | 3–5 | Turns at the board |
| Number Match 1–10 | Drag each number onto its word, like 3 onto "Three" | Pre-K–K | Centers |

| Game | What students do | Ages | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Learn Colors | Scratch to reveal a color, say it, and find something that color in the room | 3–7 | Whole class |
| Color Sorting | Drag colored items into the matching color zone | Pre-K–K | Centers |
| Basic Shapes | Tap the correct name for each of twelve shapes | Pre-K–K | Turns at the board |
| Shapes Match | Drag six shapes onto their names | 3–6 | Centers |
| Patterns & Sequences | Work out what repeats and tap what comes next | 3–6 | Turns at the board |
All of these use the same pattern: drag each item into one of two groups, tap Submit to check, then Try Again for a new mix. Once a class has learned one, they can run the others on their own.
| Game | What students sort or match | Ages | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fruits & Vegetables Sorting | Food words into Fruit or Vegetable | 4–7 | Centers |
| Animals & Birds Sorting | Words and pictures into Animal or Bird | 3–6 | Centers |
| Numbers & Letters Sorting | Each item into Number or Alphabet | 3–5 | Centers |
| Animals Match | Six animal pictures onto their names | 3–6 | Centers |
The scratch, tap and drag games each work the same way across topics. Model one game of each type with the whole class first. After that, a center card that just says the game's name is usually enough.
These are scratch-to-reveal games: scratch the grey card, the picture appears, and the game says its name, often with a sound. They work well as a whole-class guessing game or a topic warm-up.

Because there's no login, you can share any game's web address in a class newsletter, and families can open it on any device with no setup.
No. Every game opens straight in the browser. There is nothing to sign up for and no form asks for a name or email.
Yes, they are free. The site is supported by advertising, and ads can appear on game pages, usually above the game or below it. Open the game on the screen you will project before class so you know what students will see. See the privacy policy for how the site handles data.
They run in a normal web browser and respond to a mouse or a finger, including the drag-and-drop games. Interactive whiteboards that act as a touch screen should work, but setups differ, so try one game on your board first.
Most games say each word, letter or number aloud, and the listening games depend on it. Use speakers for whole-class play. Games with background music have a speaker button in the corner to turn it off.
Most rounds take 5 to 10 minutes. Many teachers use one game as a warm-up or a center rotation rather than a full lesson.
