Pick what to play

Answer your way. Tap it, point to it, say it, sign it, or show a card or device. Every way counts the same.

For grown-ups

Away from the screen: Bundle ten pencils with a hair tie and count the bundles and the loose ones.

Easy
Tens and ones, up to 99.
Medium
Hundreds, tens and ones, up to 999.
Hard
Four digits, zeros, swapping ten ones for a ten, and money.
  • Start on Easy, even if it looks too simple. Success first, then move up when your child wants to.
  • Use real things alongside the screen: cups for sizes, coins for money, a calendar on the fridge.
  • Wait a little longer than feels natural. Quiet thinking time is part of it.
  • If they pick something you did not expect, ask them to tell you about it. Their reason is often interesting.
  • Pointing, signing, a device or a picture card are all real answers. Speaking is not the goal here.
  • Stop when it stops being fun. A few minutes, often, beats a long sitting.
  • These are games, not assessments. If you have concerns, talk to a teacher or speech pathologist.
