## What is Educational Games Kids?

Times tables, spelling, column math, telling time and money: Lalo Academy brings together 12 educational games for elementary school, made for kids aged 6 to 9 (1st, 2nd and 3rd grade).
Five minutes a day is enough: Lalo remembers every mistake and brings it back at the right moment, until your child really knows it.

Lalo, the pencil with glasses, becomes your child's study buddy: no random drills, no timer on the screen, no ads. Just the math and spelling of the early grades, explained calmly and reviewed with a method.

WHAT YOUR CHILD LEARNS
• Times tables — multiplication facts from the 2s to the 10s, in the order schools teach them. Your child types the answer on a keypad instead of picking from choices, so the times tables are learned, not guessed. Blitz mode mixes them all up for quick review.
• Spelling — a natural, recorded human voice says the word. First your child taps the right spelling out of three, then types it alone. Practice covers real English spelling patterns: double letters, silent letters (kn, wr, mb), th, long vowels (ee, oo), ch, sh and ck, and finally whole sentences with a capital letter, spaces and a period.
• Column math — 2- and 3-digit addition and subtraction with carrying and borrowing, column multiplication, division with remainders and mental math up to 20. Ones first, just like on paper.
• Word problems — illustrated, one-step and two-step, plus "how many more?" comparisons.
• Numbers — greater and less than, even and odd, doubles and halves, place value, number words and first fractions.
• Telling time — read the hands of a real analog clock: hours, half hours, quarter hours and five minutes.
• Money — count US coins and bills and make change.
• Shapes, calendar and measurement — sides and perimeter, days and months, feet and inches, pounds and ounces, gallons and quarts (or metric units, if you prefer).
• Coding and graphs — line up arrows to guide Lalo to the star, with gems and loops; read pictographs and bar graphs.

HOW IT WORKS
• Spaced repetition: every mistake comes back after one day, then three days, one week and three weeks.
• A times-table fact counts as learned only when your child answers it right and without hesitating, on different days. Repeating it ten times in one afternoon is not enough.
• Before each game, a short card explains the idea and what to do, with a worked example.
• Mistakes are always gentle: the right answer is shown and explained, never a scolding. In times tables and column math, the Show me button walks through the steps one by one.
• No visible timer, ever. Short sessions of 5-10 minutes, perfect after school.

LALO'S CONTINENT
These educational games turn into a journey: a hand-drawn map with twelve worlds, one per game, each with its own name and an animal friend who greets your child with a voice. In every world your child earns three flags (bronze, silver and gold) by really learning, not by piling up points. Meanwhile Lalo grows, levels up and wears the accessories won in the worlds. In evening mode the grid notebook turns into a green chalkboard.

FOR PARENTS
• A PIN-protected parent area, behind a check only an adult can pass
• A progress map for every game: see at a glance what has been learned
• An activity chart of the last 7 days
• The spelling words to review and the times tables in progress
• Choose a female or male voice

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.0 — 2026-10-13

Lalo Academy 1.3.0
- Lalo's Continent is brand new: a real map with the sea, a river and twelve drawn, animated worlds, from the windmill of Countingland to the harbour lighthouse.
- On first launch Lalo welcomes you and walks you to the map.
- You can tap worlds hidden in the fog too: Lalo tells you how to open them.
- A tidier parents area, split into sections.

### 1.2.2 — 2026-09-24

Times tables: the map now shows how far the star is — one dot for each fact learned, instead of a sprout that never changed.
Charts: the question was wrong (it said "in total" even when you had to count one row). Now the row in question lights up and the pictures are bigger.
Calendar: long month names wrap instead of running off the screen.
Home: the notebooks no longer creep up under the buttons and keep their proportions.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-09-22

The Adventure is now a continent: twelve worlds, one per game, each with its own name and three flags you win by really learning.
Every world has a friend who greets you out loud and tells you what happens there.
Everything hand-drawn: buttons, prizes and figures are no longer phone emoji.
Background music remastered.
Fixed: the wardrobe hats (they all looked the same), the medals are now telling apart, and the Home fills the screen better.

### 1.0.6 — 2026-09-15

New units in the Measures game: feet and inches, pounds and ounces, gallons and quarts in the United States; metres, kilos and litres elsewhere, with millilitres or decilitres depending on the language. The system is set automatically from your country and can be changed in the parents' area. On iPad the app no longer closes suddenly when stars and trophies play their sound.

### 1.0.5 — 2026-09-11

On tablets and iPad the keypads ended up underneath Lalo and the keys in the first column did not respond to touch. Now the spelling letter keyboard, the number pad used in every game and the coding arrows all sit in the free space next to the mascot: every key works. Nothing changes on phones.
