24 games

Junior games sit between the simplest toddler games and the full catalogue. They assume a child can follow a two-step instruction and read a short word or two, and they build from there. A session might be a gentle platformer, a counting puzzle, a coloring activity or a simple driving game. Stages are short, failure is soft, and the difficulty climbs slowly enough that a child can feel it.

How to play

1Press Play and read or listen to the short instruction on the first screen; it tells you the goal of the stage.
2Use the arrow keys or on-screen buttons to move, and tap or click to pick things up or answer.
3Collect stars, coins or ticks as you go; they usually show how well a stage went.
4At the end of a stage, tap next to continue or replay to try for a better result.
