What PBS KIDS Games is for
PBS KIDS Games is a collection of educational games for young children, built around characters from PBS KIDS television shows. The listing places its audience at preschool, kindergarten and early elementary age, with games aimed at children from 2 to 8. More free PBS KIDS games are also available on the web at pbskids.org/games.
It suits a parent who wants one place holding many short, character-led games for a young child, rather than a single title to work through. The games are the bulk of what the app contains.
Subject games for preschool and early grades
Games are sorted by school subject: math, reading, science and art, plus preschool and kindergarten activities. The listing names mazes, puzzles, dress-up and coloring among the formats. The science and math puzzles are presented as a way to build STEM skills.
Other titles focus on social ground such as kindness, mindfulness and emotions, and some are meant to support daily routines and healthy habits. The art games are the listing's way of building creativity and imagination.
Playing with PBS KIDS show characters
Most games are tied to a specific show. The listing names Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, Wild Kratts, Lyla in the Loop, Weather Hunters, Carl the Collector, Odd Squad, Molly of Denali, Clifford and Sesame Street, among others. A child who already knows one of these shows will recognise the characters they are playing with.
The character list runs to many more titles than those named here, and the listing adds 'and more' at the end of it.
English and Spanish play
Games can be played in English or Spanish. Alma and Rosie are named as the characters for bilingual play. The listing says over 50 of the educational games are available to Spanish speakers.
This is the part of the app aimed most directly at families who speak Spanish at home or want their child to practise both languages.
Parent resources and home use
A parent section links to related PBS KIDS apps for further learning. It gives details on each show's intended age and learning goals, and it includes a way to find the local PBS KIDS station schedule.
The listing says the games can be played from home and carried on elsewhere. It also mentions accessibility features among the games.
