Kids Learning Arcade
Free kindergarten learning games
Spelling games for kindergarten, free and calm. Children build CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words, then sh, ch and th words, and practice the Dolch primer sight words.
What kindergarten spelling covers here
- CVC words like cat, pig and sun: the base of reading. Many children review them early in the year.
- Digraphs: sh, ch, th and wh, two letters making one sound.
- Dolch primer sight words: all 52 are in the game's age 5 deck.
- Blends like fr and st, for children ready for longer words.
In the classroom or at home
The games run in a web browser with no accounts, so they work on class tablets and on a whiteboard. Nothing about a child is collected or kept. A round is 5 words, then "All done", which makes a natural stopping point in a center rotation.
Word lists print cleanly: try CVC words with pictures or the digraph word list.
Questions parents ask
Which sight words does a kindergartner need?
Schools pick their own lists. Many use the Dolch pre-primer and primer lists, 92 words in all. The game has the primer list in full at age 5 and 38 of the 40 pre-primer words at age 4.
Does my child need to read?
No. Each card shows a picture and the voice says the word and every letter, so a child can spell by listening and matching. Sight words have no picture: the child taps the ear to hear the word.
Is it free?
Yes. There is no sign-in, nothing to download and nothing to buy inside the games. It runs in the web browser on phones, tablets and computers.
