Our Games give kids the autonomy to explore independently while doing repetitive practice to reinforce skills.

How Can Teachers Choose the Best Online Educational Games for Kindergarten?

Built-in scoring helps parents see their growth. It also provides an instant marker for how well they've done and encourages them to do better the next time. And a little competition or challenge never hurt anyone.

Finding Kindergarten computer games that include time limits or multiplayer challenges increase kindergartener's brain skills. Processing speed is an important skill to train, and games with time limits encourage kids to do their best to solve things fast. The more they practice, the better they will become and the more muscle memory will develop for quick recall and recognition.

Pitting themselves next to their peers or family members makes learning a collaborative and cooperative experience for kindergarteners. Most importantly, they need to see the joy and fun in learning, and online games definitely present this.
