Play! →Why these games are different
This is the group where three things come together that barely show up in the games for younger kids: text to read (antonyms), arithmetic (addition and subtraction) and an opponent playing against you (tic-tac-toe).
Tangram deserves its own mention: it is the hardest game here. Some figures do not come out on the first try or the second, and the piece only drops in once it is turned to the right angle.
From easiest to hardest
- Spot the difference and shape puzzles, to get started.
- Addition and subtraction and tic-tac-toe, which ask you to calculate or anticipate.
- Tangram last, starting with the few-piece figures.
Frequently asked questions
Can these be used at school?
Yes. They work on the interactive whiteboard and with a mouse, and nothing has to be installed on the classroom computer.
Which ones need reading?
Antonyms and the word search ask you to read words; the rest are solved by looking, counting or listening.
Do they cover the school curriculum?
No. They are standalone games of logic, arithmetic and language, not a sequence that follows a year of curriculum.
