Free Learning Games for 5 and 6 Year Olds

Build a word, count a garden, and explain a clever choice. Mix familiar practice with a new challenge as early reading and reasoning grow.

Games to explore

Games open at your child’s current profile Level. Read instructions together, use Listen where offered, and take a break whenever you like.

Help your child get started

Choosing games for a 5-year-old

Start with counting pictures or building a familiar word. Invite your child to point to each object or say the sounds while you help read the instruction.

Next steps for a 6-year-old

Try rearranging sentence dominoes or explaining a sorting rule. Read a completed sentence aloud together and discuss why a word or picture belongs in its place.

Try it at home

After a word or sentence game, draw its meaning together. Let your child tell a short story about the picture without needing to spell every word.

Try it in the classroom

Use sentence dominoes with a partner: one child proposes a word, the other reads the growing sentence. Swap roles and discuss another arrangement when supported.

A few useful answers

What if my five- or six-year-old finds a game too easy or difficult?

Use the shared profile controls to try another Level. There is no Level selector inside a game. Earned discoveries remain, and activities that support saved boards resume the board for the matching curriculum band.

How do we choose a Level and start playing?

Open a game or Go to Worlds, then choose a Level using the shared profile controls if you have not chosen one yet. Levels 1–2 correspond to the age-two band, 3–4 to ages 3–4, 5–6 to ages 5–6, 7–8 to ages 7–8, and 9–10 to ages 9–10. The first Level in each pair offers a starter collection; the second offers a fuller collection. Age is guidance, and a discovery-page link does not change the profile.

Are the games free, and where is progress saved?

The activities are free to play without creating an online account. Profiles and supported activity progress stay in this browser on this device. They do not sync between devices. Private browsing, blocked storage or clearing browser data can prevent saving or remove local progress.
