How to play with your child
Short clips of real adults playing with real children, with plain instructions underneath. Find one thing that fits the child in front of you, in the time and the space you actually have.
It is free, there is no account to make, and nothing here needs buying.
Moments
Pick the situation you are in. Each one holds games that work there, with nothing extra to fetch.
Ages
Tell us how old they are and the catalogue narrows to what suits them, ordered by what fits best rather than what merely overlaps.
What you have
Most good play needs nothing but you, and nothing on the site asks you to buy a kit.
What each entry gives you
Every game has its own numbered page, and every page is built the same way so you learn where to look once.
A clip, trimmed
Cut to the part that shows the thing, so you are not hunting through a long video. Credited to the channel that made it and linked back.
How to start
Plain instructions you can follow on one read, with the words to say where there are words.
What tends to happen
What it usually looks like the first few times, and what the game actually turns on once they know it.
If it is not working
What to change when they lose interest or pull away, rather than assuming it will land.
Three facts, up front
What you need, how long it takes, how calm it is. Enough to decide in four seconds.
Games next to it
One that does the same job differently, one a step up, one calmer, another in the same family.
How this is put together
The whole thing rests on being trustworthy, so here is how it works.
Every entry is written and checked by a person before it is published. Nothing appears automatically.
Clips are embedded from the channel that made them, credited by name, and linked back. Nothing is re-hosted or stripped of its source.
Safety notes appear where they are genuinely needed and say something specific, rather than a blanket warning on every page.
The curation and safety policy is published in full, including what gets rejected and why.
Nothing is tracked, and the site works without an account.
If you hand things to parents
Health visitors, family support workers, early years staff and librarians get the full filter set and a printable page for any game or collection. No account, no dashboard, nothing to log.
