Homeschool games: learn through play
Or set it up yourself: players, age, time
How many players?
Names (optional) Add names so turns are called by name
First names or nicknames, saved only on this phone. Pick a kid’s age so the youngest goes first and quiz cards fit each kid; tick “Adult” for grown-ups: they get harder words to act out and no kids-only topics.
Need a brain break between lessons, a Friday fun block or a co-op activity? These games practise vocabulary, facts, memory, questioning and storytelling while everyone laughs, with a parent and one to three kids or a small co-op group. One phone reads the cards and runs the timer. Choose the number of players, the youngest age and the time above to get a ready-made session.
📚 Tip: the parent plays too. Tick “Adult” next to your name for harder words to act out, and pick each kid’s age next to theirs so quiz cards fit each child, even with siblings years apart.
