What children learn in Playgroup & Nursery
Focus on short sessions of five to ten minutes, celebrate every match and rhyme, and talk about what your child sees on the screen. Those conversations matter as much as the game itself.
- Early reading: Hearing rhymes, recognising first sight words like “the”, “and” and “is”, and matching words to pictures.
- Thinking skills: Memory, concentration and taking turns, all practised in memory matching games.
- Number sense: Counting objects, recognising small numbers and noticing patterns in everyday play.
