Learning games
Learn something, by year group,
without it feeling like homework
Four subjects, eight year groups from Reception to grown-up, and three difficulty levels in each. Every answer comes with the reason behind it, the maths is generated fresh every round, and the facts are checked rather than assumed. Free, no sign-up, and it works on a phone in the back of a car.
Pick a subject
Maths
Counting, times tables, fractions, percentages and algebra - a fresh set of questions every single time.
Choose a year group →
English
Sounds and rhymes, spelling, grammar, punctuation and vocabulary, from first letters up to the words adults get wrong.
Choose a year group →
Science
Living things, materials, forces, space and the human body - from what a plant needs up to genuine physics.
Choose a year group →
Fun Facts
True, surprising and checkable. Every one is verified, and the famous false ones are deliberately left out.

Or start from the year group
Named for both systems, because Year 3 and Grade 3 are the same children.
Counting objects up to ten, recognising which group has more, simple adding within five, and naming the basic shapes.
Adding and taking away within twenty, counting in twos, fives and tens, and the number that comes before or after.
Adding and subtracting two digit numbers, the two, five and ten times tables, halves and quarters, and telling the time.
The times tables up to twelve, dividing with remainders, tenths, and adding three digit numbers with carrying.
Longer multiplication, equivalent fractions, decimals to two places, area and perimeter, and rounding.
Multiplying and dividing decimals, percentages of amounts, factors and multiples, and word problems with more than one step.
Order of operations, negative numbers, ratio, simple algebra, and percentages of increase and decrease.
Percentage change, ratio sharing, order of operations under pressure, mental arithmetic with awkward numbers, and multi-step problems.
How this is different from a worksheet
The difficulty is in the questions, not in a slider. Choosing Year 5 does not give a Year 2 question with a shorter timer on it - it gives a Year 5 question. The easy, medium and hard levels change the clock, the number of lives and the helpers, so a child who needs time still meets work pitched at their age.
Every answer is explained, right or wrong. A quiz that only says “correct” is a test. The one-line reason underneath is the part that actually teaches, so it appears whatever you pressed.
Wrong options are built from real mistakes. In maths that means the answer you get if you forget to carry a ten, or if you add the denominators. Picking the same near-miss twice tells you exactly what to practise, and the results screen breaks the run down by topic so you can see it.
Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 have read-aloud switched on by default, because a child who cannot read the question yet should still be able to play it on their own.
Questions from parents
Is it really free?＋
Yes. No account, no email address, no trial and no card. Type a name so your score has something on it, and play.
How do I pick the right year group?＋
Start at the year they are in at school, on easy. If they are getting nearly everything right, move up a year rather than up a level - the questions themselves get harder, not just the clock.
Is any data collected about my child?＋
The name you type stays in your own browser and nothing else is stored. Scores from the learning games stay on the device and are never posted to a public board.
Can two children play together?＋
Yes, by passing the device. Easy mode has no clock at all, which is what makes taking turns work.
Does it work offline?＋
No, the questions are fetched when you start a round. Once a round has started you can finish it even if the connection drops.
