How to play

Use these cards with your toddler for quick, screen-light word games. The phone is for the parent; the play is for the child.

Find It

Print and cut the cards. Spread 4-8 cards on the table or floor. Tap Find It on your phone. When the phone calls a word, ask your child to find, touch, or bring the matching card.

Hunt

No printing needed. Tap Hunt on your phone. When the phone calls a word, ask your child to find something like it nearby. Skip any word you do not have in the room.

Sort It

Use two or more baskets, piles, or pretend shop areas. Tap Sort It or use the printed cards. Ask your child to place each card into the right group.

  • Keep it short: 5-10 minutes is enough.
  • Use 4-8 cards at a time.
  • Praise effort, not speed.
  • Skip any card that feels too hard.
  • Let your child move, point, bring, or say the word.
  • No scoring, no pressure.
