Hungry Bear's Picnic
Give the bear exactly the right number of snacks.
3–5Make Your Own Scene
Pick a painted place, then fill it with trees, animals and anything else you like. Nothing here can be wrong.
3–5When Is This For?
Four painted things, four moments. Work out which thing belongs to which — the moment never says its name.
6–11
Put the Rooms In
Read what happens in each empty space, then move the right room into it — and mind which floor it belongs on. Five houses, a cottage and a castle and a palace of ice, and when one is finished you talk about it: which room is above the kitchen, what is in the bedroom, which one is your favourite and why.
3–5The Nail Salon
Pick a polish, paint the nails, add a sticker — then take orders from customers who name the finger they mean.
3–5
Farm Jobs
Scale the fish, pluck the hen, shear the sheep, milk the cow and the goat — each one has a right way, and a reason.
6–11
Garden Orders
Plant anything you like, anywhere you like, then water it. Neighbours order from whatever you grew — pick exactly that, count the money, and the next one is already walking up.
6–11
Popcorn
Pick every kernel off the cob, tip them in the pan, then tap each one and watch it pop. The count never changes.
3–5What Happens First
Three painted moments, shuffled. Put them in the order they happen — then find out why that order is the only one.
3–5
Sock Pairs
Mum Fon holds up one sock. Find its partner in the basket — and the basket gets busier as you go.
3–5
What Comes Next?
A strip of three painted moments with one missing. Put it back — and mind whether the gap is at the end or the beginning.
3–5
Mother & Baby
A little one has wandered off. Take it back to its mother — and the grown-ups all come from the same family, so look carefully.
3–5
Heavy or Light?
Two things on Grandma Pang's balance. Say which is heavier, then watch the beam tip and find out — a big pillow still weighs less than a small mirror.
3–5
Three of a Kind
Painted things laid out on the kitchen table. Take three of the same and they clear — or let the card name one and take every one you can find. One player, or two taking turns for the biggest pile.
6–11Think Fast!
Name three things — typed on your phone, no wrong answers. Your answer is worth the number of people who said it too.
12–120
Who Am I? Six Clues
Vegetables, fruit, animals or jobs — the clues arrive one at a time and the card is worth six points on the first and one on the last. Guess wrong and the next clue is free.
6–12
Clue Cards
Three clues, five hearts, and a word to spell. Open another clue for a heart, get a letter wrong and it costs one too — then the picture turns over.
6–12The Washing Line
The socks are pegged out in the wrong order. Tap two to swap them, until every pair stands side by side.
3–5
Line Them Up
Miro's blocks run in a repeating line — and the last one is missing. Tap the block that comes next, then hear the whole line sing.
3–5
The Frog and the Flies
Tap an insect and the frog's tongue takes it. Each round says which ones to catch — and which to leave alone.
3–5
Bubble Pop: 1-2-3!
Pop the number the Kidsquare Bear calls out.
3–5
The Toy Box Tidy-Up!
Sort each item into the matching colour bin.
3–5
The Emotion Detective
Match the face to the feeling.
3–5
Thought Then Feeling
The same thing happens twice. Two thoughts, two feelings.
6–11
Where Do You Feel It?
Read the body's signals and name the feeling they belong to.
6–11
Follow Me!
Watch the order Miro shows you, then tap it back.
3–5
Problem Road
Real problems come at you down a three-lane road — it's pouring and you have to get to school, you broke a glass, you fell out with your sister. Steer into the choice that actually helps. Lean the tablet to drive.
6–11
Where Is It?
The cat is ON the box — or IN it? Drag the right position word into the sentence and learn where everything is, in Thai and English.
3–5
Whose Shadow?
A duck, a giraffe and a key have all left their shadows on the grass. Drag each picture back onto the shadow with the same shape — or tap the picture, then tap the shadow.
3–5
Astro-Math: Starship Racer!
Steer into the right answer to speed up.
6–11Make It True
Three numbers, two empty slots. Drag + − × ÷ and the equals in until the row says something true — the equals can go either side.
6–11Sweep Them Into Groups
Drag across 2, 3 or 5 things and let go — they bundle. Count 20 and 30 into groups, then meet remainders and decimals.
6–11
Number Moles!
Pat the mole holding the target number.
6–11
Hoop Shot
The sum is on the ball, the answers are on three backboards. Learn the trick, then throw.
6–11
Pizza Fraction Dash!
Serve the exact fraction of pizza.
6–11
Write & Solve
Work out the multiplication in the grid — write it or type it.
6–11
Pull the Shape
Drag a corner and watch the sides, the angles and the area move with it — square, triangle, pentagon, hexagon, circle, and the solids too. Every shape comes with something a family actually had to measure.
6–11
Find the Hidden Animals
Real camouflaging animals are hiding in a jungle scene — find them all, then discover who they were and how they hide.
6–11
Whose Tool Is This?
Give each tool back to the grown-up whose job it belongs to.
6–11
Let's Pretend
Somebody needs you. Choose what to say, say it out loud, then pick up the one tool that does the job.
4–9
The Fix-It Mission
Something has gone wrong at work. Name what is actually wrong, choose the tool that can help, and do the right thing with it.
8–11Pattern Path
Remember and repeat the glowing pattern.
6–11
Memory Match
Flip and match the pairs.
65–120
Breathe with Beary
Beary is asleep. Let your tummy rise and fall with his.
65–120
Summer I-Spy
Find every crab, every ice cream, every shell — and count as you go.
3–5
Picture Talk
A busy picture goes up on the big screen and the questions come round one at a time — What, When, Where, Why, How and Who. The whole class looks, talks it over and answers together; tap the picture to point.
5–12
Picture Sudoku
Sudoku with no numbers. Every row, column and box gets one of each.
65–120The Month Ahead
One month of allowance in baht. Fixed costs land, you decide what to put away — then the month happens to you.
12–17Headline or Hoax
A feed of posts. Tap the lines that are working on you, then decide: share it, check it first, or don't pass it on.
12–17
State Keeper
The same button does different things — it depends where the machine already is. Map it.
12–17
Matrix Logic
Nine cells, the last one missing. One rule runs across, another runs down — find the piece that is right both ways.
12–17
Mirror the Move
Two rows, take from one, last counter wins. Make them equal and copy — you cannot lose.
6–11Break It Down
An awkward shape. Count every square, or cut it into rectangles and multiply.
6–11The Launch Lab
A spring launcher, a target across the field, and three things you can move: how hard you pull, what angle you set, and which ball you load. Every level locks two of them so you can see what the third one really does.
12–17Smart Experiment
Three switches, one lamp, a hidden rule. Work out which switches actually matter.
6–11
Ask the Best Question
You never guess the answer — you choose the question. A good one splits the field in half.
12–17
The Voice Inside
The sentences you'd only ever say to yourself. Hear one, name the trap in it, then say it in the voice you'd use on a friend.
12–17
Greedy Steps
Pay the exact amount in as few coins as you can — then meet the purse where the obvious rule loses.
6–11Narrow It Down
Sixteen candidates, a handful of clues. Watch the possibilities go dark.
6–11The Unchanging Thing
A pile changes under a rule until one is left. Say what it will be — before you play.
6–11Halfway
A number is hiding in a range. Every guess should kill half of what is left.
6–11Working Backward
A machine ate a number and shows what came out. Undo the chain to find what went in.
12–17Name the Picture
A painted thing, and one question: what is it called? No options, no clock.
65–120
The Shopping List
Look at a short list, put it away, then find those things among twice as many.
65–120
What's Missing from the Tray
Pang lays a few things on the tea tray. Look for as long as you like — then the cloth goes on, and when it comes off something has gone.
65–120
The Grandchildren
They come round to the tea house — a name, an age and one thing each of them loves. Sit with them as long as you like, then Pang asks about them.
65–120Half a Proverb
The first half of a Thai saying is on the board. Where does the rest of it go?
65–120Days, Months, Zodiac Years
Three rings asked the same four ways: put them in order, say which one it is now, name the one before and the one after — and then count on. If yesterday was Monday, what is it in ten days?
65–120The Design Studio
Invent a cookie, a cupcake, a sundae — or your own future. Then tell us about it.
3–5
Thought Flip
Swap the heavy sentence for the growing one — then the nine things it's okay to feel.
6–11The Kidsquare Kitchen
Cook something real with a grown-up, invent your own, then write down what was hard and what you're proud of.
6–11Sea Glass Studio
Set frosted sea glass into a frame and hang it where the light comes through — then say who it's for.
3–5The Kidsquare Shop
Price the things you designed, open your stall, and count out a customer's change.
6–11Dress-Up
Dress her: pick a cut, a colour and a pattern and she puts it on — 112 outfits, none of them wrong. Then hunt the three who match, or the three who don't.
3–5
Two Hands, Two Colours
Two coloured spots. Press both at the same moment, one hand on each, and hold — with fingers, or with the camera on and real hands in the air. Later they swap sides, so an arm has to cross the middle.
3–5
Spell the Action
A painting of somebody doing something. Stretch the word out, hear the sounds, and lay the letters down in order.
6–11Guess Who Am I
One picture is talking, and gives itself away one clue at a time. Cross out who it can't be until only one is left.
6–11Line Code
The key says which mark each colour takes. Pick a mark, then stamp it on every circle of its colour.
3–5Ladybird Halves
She carries a number and wears half its spots. Pick the wing that finishes it.
3–5Photo Hunt
Two pictures, a handful of differences. Play on your own, or race a friend on one screen.
3–5Colour the Dice
The key says which colour each number gets. Pick a colour, then tap every die showing that many dots.
3–5Count & Match
Count the little things and tap the number — or switch the question and find the word instead: a flock of birds, a bouquet of flowers, a stack of books.
3–5Set the Clock
Move the hands of a real clock to match the time — o'clock, half past, and more.
6–11Balance the Scales
Add weights to the other pan until the beam sits level — that's when both sides are equal.
6–11
Butterfly Symmetry
One wing is decorated — colour the other to match, exactly mirrored down the middle.
3–5Colour Climb
Poppy calls a glowing hold — the big purple one! — and you tap it to climb the wall.
3–5Route Memory
The wall lights a route hold-by-hold. Watch, remember, then climb the growing sequence.
6–11
Order Climb
Numbers and letters on the holds — tap them in order (1→6, A→F, then by twos) to climb.
3–5Lucky Tumbler
Crank a drum of balls. Little ones put the numbers in order; older ones predict which colour is likelier and watch a bar chart prove it.
6–11First Sound Safari
Poppy says a sound — tap the animal whose name starts with it. The first step of learning to read, by ear.
3–5Key Code
The key says what each picture is worth — then every question is asked in pictures. Look it up, then add. Or follow a colour sequence round the ring.
3–5
Who Cooked It?
Somebody in this kitchen cooked it. Ask yes-or-no questions, turn over the faces it cannot be, and name them before Beary does. Four levels — up to who, with what, and using which tool.
6–11
Can You?
A floor game round a screen: roll, walk your token, and actually do what the square says. Land on an I-can't square — flying to the moon, drinking the sea — and you walk back to Start, laughing.
3–5Question Sea
Seven grammars, one sea. Subjects down the side, actions across the top — say a square's sentence right and you may look under it. Eight things are hiding. Play Beary or a friend.
6–11What's Missing?
Two shelves, and one thing has gone from the second — find it. Or find the one thing on the line with no pair.
3–5
Letter Roads
Every number and letter is a road. Drive the car from the green light to the STOP sign — one stroke at a time, in the order a hand really writes.
3–5Super Cart
Push the cart down the aisle and grab the groceries on your list — by picture, by letter, or by word.
3–5Hands-On Maths
Work out +, −, × and ÷ with real objects you can move — or just type the answer and press Enter.
6–11
Doodle Party
Everyone gets the same prompt and draws it on their own little canvas — watch each other's pictures appear live, then hand out hearts.
3–5What Is It Made Of?
Draw anything you like, then watch your own drawing turned into metal, cloth, paper, plastic and rubber — and work out what it really ought to be made of.
4–9Keep It Up
Slide your finger to move the paddle — the faster you slide, the more it leans, and the ball bounces off along the angle of the face.
4–12
The Dream Catcher
The cords start tangled — every piece is hanging in somebody else's place. Move them back until each one is under its own cord and nothing crosses. The cords stretch like rubber bands.
4–10Speed Maths
Learn a named mental-maths trick — then race through fresh problems by typing the answer. From Friends-of-10 up to Pythagoras and Gauss.
6–11Brain Teasers
Read a riddle, think it through, then reveal the answer and the reasoning behind it — gentle trick questions for every age, no scores, no pressure.
6–11Logic Grid
Read the clues and fill a ✓ / ✗ grid to deduce who matches what — over a hundred puzzles, from a gentle 3-child riddle up to an interlocking mansion mystery.
6–11Logic Detective
Three deduction games in one. On Knave Island, work out who always lies and who always tells the truth; crack a 3-digit safe from bulls-and-cows clues; or open the case files — 60 stories where you name the liar AND say who took it, which box hides the treasure, or who stands where. Every puzzle has exactly one answer you can reason your way to.
12–17
Who Lives Here?
Read each friend's position clue — which floor, which end window, who they live next to — and move everyone into the right window of the building. From a friendly 2×4 up to a busy 4×6.
6–11
Equation Balance
Solve for x by keeping the scale level — do the same to both sides, one honest step at a time, until it reads x = N. Or just type the answer and press Enter.
12–17Two Pictures, One Word
Two little pictures join into one bigger word — sun + flower makes sunflower. Read both, then type the word they make.
6–11
Star Garden
Grow one star in every row, every column and every colour bed — and never let two stars touch. A gentle logic puzzle with exactly one answer.
6–11Name the Group
A pride of lions, a school of fish, a bunch of grapes — link each group-word to the animals, people or things it names, and the whole phrase reveals.
6–11
Molecule Lab
Drag atoms into the target molecule — water, carbon dioxide, ammonia and more — and watch it turn into a 3-D model with its formula.
12–17DNA Match
Build the other side of the double helix — A with T, C with G — and watch the hydrogen bonds appear. Real sequences, plus an RNA mode.
12–17Whose Child Is It?
Read a family tree by blood group. Learn ii, IᴬIᴬ, Iᴬi … then work out which child could be theirs — and which man could be the father.
12–17
Secret Code
A colour key says what each colour is worth. Read the picture in the right order, swap the colours for digits and drag out the secret number.
6–11Number Word Scramble
The letters of a number word are shaken up — put them back in order and the numeral appears. One to ten, then -TY, -TEEN and the compounds.
6–11The Missing Piece
Press start, let the shapes drift, stop them where you like — then find where each cut-out piece came from and drag it home.
6–11Tile Laying
Lay the tiles so every half-shape meets its other half — same shape, same colour. The edges around the grid tell you where to start.
6–11Pattern Add & Subtract
Plus puts one pattern's cells into another; minus takes them out. Do the sum with your finger and watch where the two patterns overlap.
6–11Build It
Look at the plan, then drag each piece into its place. The shape AND the colour have to match — and some pieces belong to nothing.
3–5From Above
A stack of rings from the side — now imagine floating up and looking straight down. Which picture is the same thing?
3–5Opposites Lab
Don't memorise opposites — make them happen. Pour it full, scrub it clean, pump it big, switch it on, and watch the word change with it.
3–5Hex Match
Drop each coloured hex tile onto a board cell with the same symbol — and line up matching colours to score. Every board can always be finished.
6–11Jigsaw
Pick one of Kidsquare's own paintings, break it into 6, 12, 20 or 30 pieces, and put it back together. Tap a piece, tap where it belongs — they swap. Peek at the finished picture whenever you like.
6–11Sort It Out
A pile of things and nowhere to put them. Sort each one into the right box — animals, food, things at home, or land, water and sky — then line others up from smallest to biggest. A wrong box only shakes its head.
6–11Sort the Waste
Bins in a row, rubbish above them, and one job: drag each piece into the colour it belongs to. Learn Bangkok's four bins, then a school's finer ones — and see at the end what your pile was actually made of.
6–11Which Bin?
A red milk carton, a green glass bottle, a yellow snack wrapper — every pack wears a bin's colour, and the colour does not tell you the bin. Look at what it is made of.
6–11Clean-Up Time
Three jobs you can actually see finish: wipe the fog off a window until the view comes back, tap the last stain off a dish, and put every piece of rubbish in the bin it belongs in — and find out why it goes there.
3–5The Arcade
Five games, thirty seconds each: tap the number, spot the odd colour, add fast, find the only matching pair, and count the dots before they vanish. The only score to beat is your own.
6–11Mirror Me
The left half shows a pattern of coloured dots — fill the right half to mirror it across the centre line. A gentle reflection-symmetry puzzle that always has one answer.
6–11Make It Perfect
Eight tiny quests, ten seconds each — pull the tissue, zip the zip, land the stamp. The moment one lands, the next is already waiting as a shadow.
6–11Energy Hero
Eight games: turn off the running tap, guess which machine drinks the most, find what's turning the house meter, read a bulb's label, mend a dark string of fairy lights, test what electricity travels through — and learn the thrifty way to use every machine in the house.
6–11Whole-Body Eights
Seven moves, eight counts each — neck, arms, legs — with a number big enough to read from across the room and a seated move to finish.
65–120What Time Is It?
Move the hands to match 7:30, read a clock and dial the digits, then wind the minute hand round until the cuckoo comes out and calls the hour.
6–11Write a Song for the Music Box
Punch holes in a paper ribbon and wind the handle yourself — slowly and the song is slow, quickly and it hurries. Or load a nursery rhyme already punched and watch which hole makes which note.
6–11
Who Lives Where?
A row of houses, a few children, and clues that never name everyone outright. Read them together and take each child to their own front door — the harder streets add a pet each.
6–11
Memory Map
Gems light up one niche at a time on a treasure-cave wall — then tap the same niches in the same order. The trick is taught first and drawn on the wall as you go: don't hold separate dots, draw them as ONE line and remember the shape. A clean run makes the next route a gem longer.
6–11Connect the Dots
Count 1 to 10, 1 to 20, or skip-count by fives, tens and hundreds — tap the dots in order and the hidden painting appears in full colour, exactly on the line you drew.
6–11Riddles
“I have teeth but cannot eat, and I open the door.” Hold every clue at once, type what it must be — and the painted answer comes out to meet you.
6–11
Odd One Out
Four things on the library table, three of them alike. Tap the one that doesn't belong — then say what the other three had in common, because that is the part that teaches you something.
6–11
Follow the Code
A starting animal and a row of arrows — now trace it. Move one square per arrow, never skip ahead, and tap whoever you land on. This is how programmers find their own bugs.
6–11Sort It
Two baskets and one rule. Drag each painted thing to the side it belongs on — land or water, eat it or use it, inside or outside — and find the one or two that make you stop and think.
3–5
Saturday Market
A hundred baht, a list from home, and a stall full of things nobody asked for. Buy what's needed first — then decide what the rest of your money is for.
6–11My Compass
Twenty things people live by. Keep the ones that are actually yours, narrow to five, then answer ten small questions until three are left. Not a test — a compass, and it will point somewhere else next year.
12–17
Fraction Scales
One fraction on the pan, and only the one that weighs exactly the same leaves the scale level. Learn the rule that never fails: times the top and the bottom by the same number.
6–11What Would You Do?
Real situations with no right answer to guess at — money short at the shop, a friend left out, a stranger at the gate. Choose, and find out what happens next.
6–11What's in the House Can Fix It
Hands-on science from the kitchen shelf. An ant bite, a browning apple, a fogged mirror — pick what actually helps, learn why it works, then go and try it for real.
6–11
Turtle Shells
Nine turtles each on the sand, one to nine dots, the same nine at both ends. Your score is the dots in the ring — but leave one lying still and it puts its head out and walks off, so count the round before they go.
3–5
Crab Shells
Vermilion crab shells against blue ones, nine each with one to nine dots. Flick them across the sand and add up what stops inside the ring.
3–5The Bean-Bag Ring
Blue at one end, red at the other. Pull a bag back and let it go — and the last throw can still change everything, because bags move each other.
3–5Rock, Paper, Scissors
Sit at either end, choose in secret, and both turn over at once. Five rounds — and mixing up your hand counts for as much as winning.
3–5Two Frogs, One Pond
A frog on each bank and insects drifting between them. Catch the ones over your own water — and the pond gives both sides exactly the same chances.
3–5Table Tennis
Two of you at either end of the tablet, a bat each that follows your own finger. It speeds up every time it comes back.
6–11Tennis
A heavier ball, slower off the racket, with a bounce in the middle of the court. Two players, one screen.
6–11Badminton
The shuttle leaves fast and brakes in the air, so it always arrives slower than it left — which is what makes it playable in a garden.
6–11Colour Sweep
The numbers beside each line say how many of each colour it holds. Work out the rest — and no board here ever needs a guess.
6–17The Big Screen
Open a room on the television, everyone joins with their own phone. The question is on the screen, the buttons are in your hand, and nobody is racing a clock.
6–11Risk or Reward
Before you answer, say how sure you are — 1, 2 or 3. A right answer is worth what you staked and a wrong one costs nothing at all. At the end, the game says who read themselves best.
8–120Fastest Finger
The question is on the big screen and everybody answers from their own phone. First right answer takes three points, second two, third one — and everybody else who got it right still scores.
6–11Quiz Battle
Split the room in two, put the question on the big screen and let everybody answer from their own phone. The points belong to the side, not to the person who got there first — and an uneven split is not a handicap.
6–11Class vs Class
Name the sides after the classes themselves and let each one send a phone. Talk it over in your group before you press — the score goes up under the class's name, and every class plays for the same total.
6–11Teacher vs Student
The teachers hold phones on one side, the students on the other, and the question is on the big screen. Two teachers against a room is not a handicap — every side plays for the same total, however many are on it.
6–120
House Challenge
The school's four houses, each sending a phone up to the stage. Talk it over in your house before you press — the score goes up under the house's name, and every house plays for the same total.
6–17School Championship
Up to four named sides, one set of questions at a time, and the scores carry over from set to set. Change the question set whenever you like — the champion is the side with the most when the host calls it.
6–17Would You Rather?
Two things on the big screen; everybody picks from their own phone. No right answer and no score — only how the room split, and who picked the same as you.
6–120Same or Different
Small questions about yourself, answered in a second. The screen shows where this room is alike and where it is not — and at the end, who picked the same as you most often.
6–120Team Puzzle
One question on the big screen, and each group talks before it presses. Only the answers that agree with the side count — you can change your mind until the question closes, and being first is worth nothing.
6–17Connect the Clues
Every phone on a side holds a different clue and nobody holds them all. The answer only exists when you say yours out loud — then the side answers together.
8–17Tower Builder
The screen says which blocks may be used, and everybody takes one. Two people on the same block only lay one, so your tower is as tall as the number of different blocks you found.
7–17Pattern Master
Five numbers on the big screen and the sixth to find. Every rule that explains the five gives the same answer, so talk it over in your group and press together.
8–17
Robot Mission
A little floor on the screen, the robot in one square and the flag in another. All four plans use the very same arrows in a different order — walk them together and find the one that stops on the flag.
7–17Logic Lab
Four buttons and a lamp, and only one button is wired to it. A row that lit crosses some buttons out and a row that did not crosses out the rest — read them aloud and one is left.
9–17
Save the Planet
Four things were left running in one room — which of them ate the most electricity? A kettle for ten minutes uses less than a fan left on all afternoon, so multiply watts by time and agree before you press.
9–17Find Your Match
Favourite colour, favourite animal, where you would go. Keep picking, and at the end the game names your match — the person in the room who chose like you most often.
6–120
How Well Do We Know Each Other?
One big screen, a phone each, and one round for each person. Whoever the round belongs to quietly picks their own answer first, and everybody else guesses what they chose. At the end there is no ranking — only the number of times this room read each other right.
6–120Common Ground
One statement on the big screen and everybody answers yes or no from their own phone. The ones every single person says yes to go on the list — and at the end the room has a list of things that are true of all of it. No score, and nobody ever finds out who answered what.
6–120Twenty Questions
Nine cards on the board and one of them is the answer. The room chooses what to ask, the impossible ones are crossed out, and the trick is the one the game teaches first: a good question cuts the board in half, not one card at a time.
8–120The Day's Board
Open one board for the whole stand, then start every console from it. All their scores land on the same board, it lasts the day, a refresh loses nothing — and every game shows the number to beat.
4–120Quiz Wheel
Put your categories on the wheel and spin it — the next question comes from wherever it stops. Nobody has to argue about what comes next, and everybody still answers from their own phone.
6–120Team Jeopardy
A board of categories at the front of the room, and the sides take turns choosing from it — then the whole room answers the question that comes out. The score belongs to the side, and the turn to choose goes round rather than to whoever is winning.
6–120Guess the Animal
A painted animal on the big screen and four names in every hand. All four are real animals — and usually four of the same kind, so you have to look properly.
4–120
Guess the Place
One painted place on the big screen — a classroom, a market, a station, the bottom of the sea — and the whole room decides where it is.
5–120
Who Am I?
Three clues and four people, and only one of them fits all three. The screen lets the clues out one at a time — and no single clue can ever give it away.
7–120
The Mystery Object
Four things on the screen and a clue at a time. Cross them out until one is left — which is deduction, not memory: nothing here has to have been taught to you.
7–120
Zoom In and Guess
A painting zoomed in until only a patch of it is left. Name it from that patch — and at the reveal the picture pulls back and shows you the whole thing.
5–120Head to Head
The same eight questions, two players sharing one screen. Two honours at the end — finished first, and most right — because they are rarely the same person.
6–11Press First
One screen at the front of the room, two sides, two buzzers. Whoever presses first answers — and a wrong answer costs nothing, it just passes the question across.
6–17Tug of War
Two teams at one board, both solving at the same time. Every right answer pulls the rope one step your way — and a miss costs nothing, the rope simply does not move.
6–17Tug of War: the whole room
The rope is on the big screen and the whole class answers from their own phones. Every right answer pulls it one step your side's way — and a miss costs nothing, the rope simply does not move.
6–17
Slap It!
One screen on the table, up to four players, a pad each. Answers come past one at a time — slap yours the moment the right one shows. Slap a wrong one and your hand sticks for a moment.
4–120Stop the Needle
“Stop at 30.” A needle runs along a ruler once — press your pad when you think it is there. Up to four players round one screen; the nearest flag takes the round.
4–17Tap the Colour
One minute, tap the colour the screen asks for — two players on half a screen each. Every pad has its colour, its shape and its name, so it plays just as well if you cannot see the colours.
5–17How Well Do You Know Me
One phone round the table. One person answers about themselves in secret, everybody else guesses what they said — and the score at the end belongs to the whole table, not to anyone at it.
10–99Build It Together
One device round the table: a monster, a dream house, a holiday, a dish. A piece each, until you have one thing nobody would have made alone — and nothing in it is scored.
4–99Teacher Says
The screen calls the moves and the whole room does them, standing beside a desk. Four ways to play, it speeds up as you go — and nobody is ever sent out, so the number at the end is the class's.
4–12
The Prize Wheel
A wheel, boxes, cards or numbers — whichever you like. Type in your own prizes, and every slot holds one, so nobody ever spins and gets nothing.
3–99Two Truths, One Lie
The screen deals six statements; you pick two that are true of you and one that is not, and the room guesses which. It ends by printing two real things about everybody.
7–99My Superpower
Eight situations with no wrong answers — every option is a real, good thing somebody does. At the end: which strength you reached for most today, all the others you used, and a plain reminder that it is not who you are.
7–99Human Bingo
One grid on the screen at the front: find somebody who can whistle, who was born in your month, who has climbed a tree. A full grid belongs to the whole room.
6–99Camp by the Card
Turn the order card over and drag things along the trail to swap them, until the camp matches the card. One player, or two on half a screen each.
6–11
Grandma Ploy's Gem Market
Collect coloured stones and trade them for ice creams and cold drinks — and every treat you take away comes with a stamp that helps pay for the next one. One to four players on one screen.
6–11The Trail to the Tent
Drag one finger along the lane and the trail follows it — six pairs to choose from (the bear and the honey, the bee and the flower) and the one rule that gets you out of any maze: keep a hand on the wall.
6–11Plot the Route
Move three lanterns onto three posts — in the fewest moves there are. Plan it backwards, from the goal.
12–17Task Switch
The sorting rule changes without telling you. Find it from the ticks and crosses — one miss rules one out.
12–17
The Rule Changed
Sort the cards by the rule on the sign — and when the sign changes, let the old rule go.
6–11Counting Backwards
100, 93, 86… with a method that makes the tens easy, no clock at all, and help the moment you want it.
65–120
Name Them
Say as many animals as you can out loud, and tap to count. Afterwards, a wall of the ones there were.
65–120Count the Change
Mind Grandma Pang's stall. Count the change up from the price — 87, 90, 100 — and hand it over.
65–120The Same Leaf
Two of the leaves on the table are exactly the same leaf. Find them — and hear what the near-misses differ in.
65–120Makhum · the sowing board
Seven holes a side, seven seeds in each. Sow them round the board, land home for another lift, and finish with more than the person sitting opposite you.
6–99Roll, and tell us
Two dice into a board of thirty-six things to talk about — the first die is the row, the second the column. For a table of people, not for one person alone. Nothing is scored and any question can be passed.
65–120Garden Go
Bushes against hydrangeas on a 9×9 board. Surround a group until it has no space left to breathe and it comes off — and at the end the ground each side holds is planted, so the winner's garden grows across the board.
8–99
Pinch
The same garden, the other idea of capture: step one square and any plant of theirs caught between two of yours comes off. A plant that walks in between on its own is safe — which is what makes it a game about patience.
6–99
Four Ages of a Banana
The same banana plant at four ages — a sucker, a young plant, one in purple flower, one carrying a ripe bunch. Put them in the order they grow, then answer the grove's questions about them.
4–9Sort the Post
Three bags of post and three different rules: first by the street written on the letter, then by whether the house number is odd or even, and last by which range of numbers it falls in.
5–10Plant It in the Right Hole
Holes of different widths are dug in the field, with a tray of plants beside them. Look at a HOLE first, then go and find what fits it — that is the trick, and it saves trying every hole in turn. Later the shape counts too, and on the last patch one plant has no hole at all: leaving it out is right.
3–6Give the Directions
Poppy is on a corner and the flag is elsewhere. YOU give the directions — left, right, so many blocks — and she does exactly what you said while you watch. Nothing is marked wrong: you see where she went and which instruction she was on. From round four she walks towards you, and her left is on your right.
5–11Falling Blocks
Blocks come down and two bins wait below. Tap the one that matches — by colour, then by shape, and from level three the rule turns over mid-game and the bins repaint. Letting go of the old rule is the exercise. A block that lands is not a life lost: it waits in the pile, and sorting well shrinks it.
5–12Memory Drill
Before anything is scored you are taught the move: four digits is four things to hold, but “2-7” then “4-9” is two. Then lights run round a ring of numbers and you tap the order back. It grows, then it is asked backwards, and last the ring turns while you hold it — so hold the numbers, not the places.
6–12Tell Your Story
Nothing here is right or wrong and nothing is counted. A card asks about your own life — the first home you remember, the work your hands did, the person you think of most — and when you have told it, it becomes a page in your book. The book only ever gets thicker.
60–99Saving Up
Something in the shop costs more than a week's money. Put the same amount in the jar each week and count the weeks — that count is the answer, which is what dividing really is. Then say the number before saving it, then work out how much a week to have it by a given date.
6–10
Make Rangoli
A rangoli is built in three layers — base, pattern ring, centre — and it turns around its middle, so you place ONE piece and the whole ring follows. Learn that first, watching six petals arrive from one. Then copy four, reading each ring. Then a board with no target at all, which is yours.
6–11
Paint It and Spin It
Paint a spinning top, press spin, and the colour that comes out is not one you painted: the eye averages everything passing the same ring. Learn that on two halves, then call the blend before it spins, then make two colours cancel each other to grey, then run Newton's seven. The pinwheel has gaps, and whatever is behind it averages in too.
5–10Keep the Pattern
Ten nails with a pattern running across them. First find the chunk that keeps coming back and build it in the row of slots — then paint the rest so the pattern carries on. Two colours, then two-then-one, then three, then out-and-back, and last a hand already painted with one nail wrong.
5–9Tile Designer
Cut the grid into rectangles — each holds one number and is exactly that many squares. Then the board you solved becomes a tile, and a floor laid with it shows a pattern the single tile never had. Every game deals a brand-new board, proved to have exactly one answer.
7–12Pour It Fair
One jug of juice, two to four friends, and the glasses have to come out level. Pour a ladle at a time and go round again — however many each glass got is the answer. Then a jug that will not divide, and one ladle has to stay behind.
5–10High or Low
A double bass, a cello, a guitar and a violin, drawn at their real sizes. Tap each one and hear it, then put the four in order from the lowest sound to the highest — and last, hear one with the pictures hidden.
4–10The Stone Board
Three stones each on the tea-house board. Place them, slide them, make a line of three — against a partner who tells you how hard they play.
65–120
3D Rotation
Which block figure is the same one, turned? The wrong ones are mirrors — and the game says so when you pick one.
12–17Turn It In Your Head
Which wooden piece is the same one, just turned round? Careful — some of them have been flipped over instead.
6–11Light Every Lantern
Walk the forest paths and light every lantern in one go, never passing through one twice. Start where you have the fewest ways out.
6–11Catch the Planets
Tap every planet that comes past — but never a meteor. Slipping is normal: the hand really is faster than the mind.
6–11
The Balance Board
Twenty-one blocks of free time, one week, eight things they could go to. Nothing is scored — the board only makes the trade-off visible.
12–17The Recipe I Know
Put the steps of a dish you have cooked a thousand times back in order — your order. Only the steps that truly cannot swap are held.
65–120Colour Mixing
Pour two pots into the bowl and a brand new colour comes out. Nothing can be wrong, and every colour says its own name.
3–5Before the Exam
Six things to do with a body that has decided there is a tiger in the room. Nothing is counted, nothing can be failed.
12–17Asking for Help
Six situations, and the three parts that turn “can you help me” into something a person can actually act on.
12–17
Cast, Wait, Reel
Cast the line, wait — really wait — and pull when the float goes under. Pulling early costs nothing at all.
65–120
Big, Middle, Small
Line them up from biggest to smallest — the same painted thing at three, four or five sizes, and nothing else changing.
3–5Spot the Change
Two shelves and one difference: something moved, grew, shrank, swapped places or turned up. Find it in the lower picture.
6–120When Anger Comes
Read the moment, say how far up the wave you'd be, and pick something to try — because what works at a niggle does not work at the top.
6–11One Wave at a Time
Two runs, exactly the same work, and only the order changes. The gap between your two times is the price of switching.
12–17Constellation Sort
Sort by colour. Then by colour and size at once. Then the same, while the groups fill up and close — no clock, because load is not speed.
12–17Set the Table
A plate, a cup and a spoon each — then two more guests arrive. A knife on a tea table is never marked wrong.
65–120Counting Stars
Tap each star once — it lights up and keeps its number. Then: how many were there? The last number you said is the answer.
3–5
The Song Lanes
Twinkle Twinkle, Old MacDonald and Row Your Boat come down four lanes of light. Tap them as they land — and miss all you like: the tune plays every note anyway.
3–5
Which One Vanished?
A row of ice lollies, then a cloth — and when it lifts, one has gone and the others have closed the gap.
3–5
Which Bread Vanished?
A row of bread on the counter, then a cloth — and when it lifts one has gone and the others have closed the gap.
3–5
The Ice Cream Shop
Read the order one line at a time and build it — cone first, then the bottom scoop, then the top. Or take the card away and make your own.
6–11
The Doughnut Shop
Fill the tray from the order — two of these, four of those — then ring it up on the till. Twelve kinds in the case to pick from.
6–11
The Juice Bar
Someone orders honey & lime. What goes in it? The name already told you. Or mix your own and let the shop name it for you.
6–11
Two the Same
A tray of cold drinks. Find the two that match — or switch it round and find the one that is not like the others.
3–5
Recipe Order
Six steps, shuffled. Work out which has to happen first — and watch the glass fill up as you get them right.
6–11Mental Maths Sprint
Start at seven, add eight, times two, take away five. Nothing is written down and every step moves the number — so the trick is to say each answer out loud before the next step arrives.
12–17Focus in Noise
The word says one colour, the ink is another, and the answer is always the ink. Reading is automatic by now — so the wrong answer gets there first, every single time.
12–17Faces & Names
Meet three, five or seven of the valley at the festival, then say who is who. A face gives you a hundred hooks and a name gives you none — so the game shows you how to make one.
12–120Under Pressure
Six ordinary situations, a short clock, and one rule given to you before it starts. People who decide fast are not thinking faster — they decided in advance what they were deciding by.
12–17Order of Events
How rain falls, how bread rises, how a message crosses the ocean — eight steps, shuffled. Pin the ends first, then squeeze inwards.
12–17Find Where It Fits
A board full of faces and a card with a hole in it. There is exactly one place the card fits — and a trick for finding it fast.
6–11
The Way Home
Tap the next bit of road and walk through the town to the door with the flag over it. Some streets have a hedge across them — go round.
3–5My Farm
Hens lay, eggs hatch, caterpillars turn into butterflies you let go. Feed them, water the beds, sell what you pick — at the market, or nearer and for less — and hire someone to help. It keeps going while the screen is closed, and nothing on it can ever be lost.
5–11The Ice Lolly Queue
Five children waiting at the cart, and an order to fill. Copy the card, then follow what they asked for — the watermelon one to the left of the chocolate one.
3–5
Shop Town
The town hall sends a plan and you build the town: forty painted shops and cottages, dragged to the lot each one belongs on — to the left of the fruit shop, on the corner of Flower Street and Bird Lane.
6–11
Tell It Back
Grandma Ploy reads you a short list, then covers it. Say it back in order — and then, when you are ready, backwards. Hold it in groups of three.
6–11The Owl's Cipher
The owls write to each other in shapes. Read the key and spell the word — then try a letter with no key at all, where the only clue is which shape repeats.
6–11Number Shadows
A number drifts past the telescope on its side. Turn it back in your head — a quarter at a time — and say what it is. Then tell a turn from a flip.
6–11Stack It
A slab slides across the top of the tower. Press when it is squarely over — anything hanging off the edge is cut away and gone.
6–11The Adding Path
Every stone has a sum on it. Work them out and step on them in order — 1, then 2, then 3 — or follow a chain of +3 and −5 all the way across. The frog cannot move until you have added.
5–11Precision Drop
A cart slides along below and the parcel takes time to fall — so let go before the cart is under you. Eight drops each, and the hopper goes higher every time.
5–120Balance Master
Sandbags land on the plank one at a time. Slide the heavy block towards whichever side is higher and hold as many as you can — a small bag far out weighs a big one close in.
5–120Hit the Target
Say which ring you are going for, then hold the pad just long enough. The far ring pays most and is easiest to miss — and a puck that stops anywhere on the lane still scores.
5–120Mystery Room
Three locks on one door, three separate cards of clues, any order you like. Crack all three and the room opens — for everybody standing there, not just whoever turned the last one.
6–11
Lost Treasure
One chest under one of thirty-six squares, and twelve digs. A hole that is not the chest always tells you which way it lies and how far — two holes are usually enough to know exactly where it is.
6–120Mystery Mission
Buttons are hidden under the tiles and the readouts beside each row and column say how many. Satisfy every readout and the door opens — and one readout is broken, which you never need.
7–120
Speed Sort
The stall's stock comes past one thing at a time and there are three crates. One minute — and a wrong crate never takes a point away, it just goes back on the belt.
6–11Team Battle
Pick a colour from your own phone — up to four sides. The question is on the big screen, the points belong to the side, a smaller side is not at a disadvantage, and turning up late still gets you a team.
7–120One vs One
Two people, a side of the screen each, the sum in the middle. First right press takes the question, eight questions — a wrong press costs nothing, you just wait for the next one.
7–120
Beat the Clock
One clock for the whole room, everybody answering from their own phone. A question is cleared the moment anybody has it right — clear them all before the clock runs out. More people makes it easier.
7–120Faster Than Fear
The sky fills with lights and one kind has to be found — all of them. Sweep row by row: speed comes from the method, not from hurrying, and the clock never runs out.
6–11
What to Plant When
Three Thai seasons and everything in Kham's garden knows its own. He holds one thing up at a time — and tells you when it really goes in, whichever way you answer.
65–120
The Lakeside Walk
Walk round the lake and see what stands at each stop — the bell, the little bridge, the old boat. Then Ploy asks where they were. There is no clock at any point.
65–120
Rhyme Time
One word, and three others — which one rhymes with it? Answering opens the whole family out into the chain you were taught it as: ตา · ปลา · หมา · ม้า.
65–120The Slow Walk
One breath, one step, out along the path and back. Stop whenever you like and pick it up on the same breath. It can be done sitting down, and nothing here counts down.
65–120
Small Gratitudes
Three questions by the water, once a day, each with five small answers already on the board. What you choose goes out on a lantern. Nothing is counted and nothing is compared.
65–120
Word Wind
The wind has blown a word apart over White Wood. Listen to it, look at the picture, and tap the letters back in the order they are written.
6–11
Falling Words
A letter, a word or a whole sentence drifts down out of the sky — write it with your finger, or type it, before it reaches the grass. Thai, English, Chinese, Japanese and Korean. While you are writing, it stops and waits for you.
5–11
Build the Bridge
The river is too high to wade. Lay planks out from the bank, one at a time — every plank has to reach both sides, and no post can stand in deep water.
6–11Want to know why it is built this way?
Behind every activity is a six-part growth framework, and a rule every activity has to pass before it belongs in Kidsquare.
