About our numbers & counting games

In numbers games, children count things they can see and touch, such as snacks for a hungry little monster, one at a time. This helps them connect the words “one, two, three” with real quantities. The games are short, use small numbers and have no scores or time limits.

Frequently asked questions

When can a child really count?

Many children recite numbers before they understand what they mean. Counting objects one by one helps them connect each number with a quantity.

What can we do together after playing?

Count buttons, stairs or pieces of fruit in a bowl. Touch each item as you count it.

Do we need an account or an app?

No. The games are free and open straight in the browser, on a phone, tablet or computer.
