*Parents' Choice Silver Award Winning App!*

PBS’ first app designed specifically for parents, PBS Parents Play & Learn provides more than a dozen games parents can play with their kids, each themed around a familiar location – including the garden, the grocery store, a restaurant, the kitchen, and many more.

The bilingual (English/Spanish) PBS Parents Play & Learn app makes it easy for parents to seize upon those daily “teachable moments” through theme-based interactive games and simple hands-on activities that connect math and literacy skills to everyday experiences.

The app is designed to build on a child’s natural curiosity about his or her everyday world and to encourage dialogue between kids and parents. Each game comes with a parent note that provides information about the math and literacy skills woven into the game and suggestions for effective ways to interact with a child while playing the game to maximize the learning experience.

-13 interactive games that automatically adjust to a child’s level
- A variety of proven methods used to build early math and literacy skills

Ratings and reviews

Thos is a great free resource! It was my daughter's first game she could really interact with on the phone. I'd much rather her screen time in the day be games she has to think and interact with than just staring at a TV. And she really is learning and having to think about the games rather than some that just color or poke around.

hi my daughter loves this game but there's something wrong with the sound the sound is very very bad and please fix the sound so my daughter can play without the very very bad sound PBS kids 🙁

My kids love it 5 Stars and help them with math and what they needed to know thank you and I hope this actually can help you parents when your quarantine it's did for me and my family I love very much and its actually keeps them very occupied when they're doing work or after work we didn't actually know it was on Google but it was so you can check that out too it little glitching and it was not that cool like this game but I love this one is very excellent👍👍👍👏👏👏❤❤📿
