Kindergarten Games: Math & ABC is a free kindergarten learning app from Potpourri Apps for children aged 5 to 7: kindergarten, reception and the first year of school. It has more than 150 learning games for phonics, reading, spelling, counting, adding and early math, 29 moral stories told as living storybooks, 400 jigsaw puzzles, over 100 colouring pages, 49 sing-along nursery rhymes and a piano, all set in a watercolor kingdom with Nova the elephant. There are no ads, no in-app purchases and no account. IT STARTS WITH A MAP Not a menu and not a grid of buttons. A watercolor kingdom seen from the sky, with a castle in the middle, villages on the hills, a harbor on the coast and ten small islands out at sea. A child taps a village, the camera flies down into it, and the games that live there rise up on a parchment board. EVERY VILLAGE TEACHES ONE THING At Math Harbor, adding means craning crates onto a cargo boat and counting what is aboard. At Little School, letter sounds, blending, sight words and first spelling happen on a chalkboard. Puzzle Peak is for thinking: turn the pipes until the water reaches the wheel, finish the royal jigsaw, untangle the paths. Memory Grove hides its pairs behind little round doors in a tree. Number Bay, Shape Hills, Cozy Farm, Busy Town, Nature Trail, Jungle Trail, Music Meadow, Art Village, the Fun Fair and Explore & Find each have their own ground, sounds and games. NOVA'S ARCADE Nova is a small elephant in an orange cap. In the Arcade, Nova rides a scooter, flies a kite, pilots a rocket and paddles a raft, and the learning does the steering: ride through the gate with the right number, blast the asteroid with the right letter, catch the letters that spell the word. Twenty-four quick games where the answer is the move. MORAL STORIES FROM AROUND THE WORLD Twenty-nine fables told as living storybooks: the thirsty crow, the four friends of the Panchatantra, Birbal's khichdi, the frog in the well, the hummingbird who would not stop carrying water. Each is read aloud and ends with one small question to think about. THE QUIET PLACES Daily Adventures holds twenty read-aloud picture books: the dentist, the farm, the school bus, the supermarket. Karaoke Night has forty-nine nursery rhymes with every word lighting up as it is sung. Ten Learning Islands are for wandering: touch an animal, a festival or a feeling and hear its name. The Art Studio has over a hundred watercolor colouring pages, Puzzles has four hundred painted jigsaws in ten worlds, and there is a piano. WHAT A KINDERGARTNER PRACTISES Letter sounds, blending, rhyming families, sight words, spelling and first sentences. Counting to 100, number bonds, adding and taking away, place value, measuring, money and telling the time. Shapes, patterns, sorting, memory and logic. Animals and their homes, life cycles, weather and seasons, the body, the solar system and the people who help in a town. Levels step up as a child gets things right. QUESTIONS PARENTS ASK Is it free? Yes: no ads, nothing to buy, no account. Does it collect data? No, nothing about your child is sent anywhere. Does it work offline? Yes. Stories, puzzles and songs download once after install, then everything works without a signal. What do parents get? Behind a grown-ups-only gate: progress by subject, a weekly report, a daily screen-time limit and switches for which places are open. Kindergarten Games: Math & ABC is made by Potpourri Apps, a small independent studio. Search "Potpourri Apps" to find our other learning apps.
