Light LearningWhat is in them
- Chess, with the real laws. Castling, en passant, promotion, stalemate and the draw by repetition. Not a simplified version that teaches a child something they later have to unlearn.
- Say It, Spell It, Write It, a thousand levels joining a sound to a letter to writing it.
- Brick Yard, a hundred things to build from blocks.
- Star Run, a space shooter.
- Dust Road, a racer where stopping distance is the actual mechanic.
- Hop Run, a platformer.
- Snake.
- Streets, a family board game.
- Build, free construction.
What is not in them
No timers that punish, no lives to lose that cost money, no leaderboard against strangers, nobody to chat to and nothing to buy. A game here cannot take anything from a child except time, and it gives the time back.
Why games at all
Because a child who has finished their work should be able to stay in the app rather than leave it for something that will sell them something. And because chess, braking distance and building are worth knowing.
