Brain Kids Pro is a set of brain games for 7 year olds — a real grade 1-2 workout for ages 6-8. Fifty short mini-games go well beyond toddler puzzles: addition and subtraction to 100, times tables and division, number sequences with a rule, word problems, reading-based odd-one-out and 'which is not a…', verbal analogies, opposites, step-by-step deduction, digit span, mental rotation and coordinates. Difficulty steps up as your child improves.
Younger child? Brain Kids has the same friendly style with gentle picture puzzles for ages 4–5.
How to play
Pick the daily workout or tap any game tile. Read each task, choose the answer or type it on the number pad, and earn stars and coins. Harder levels unlock as you go.
What your child learns
Builds real arithmetic fluency, logical reasoning, reading-for-meaning, working memory and spatial skills — the thinking that underpins first- and second-grade school work.
The science behind the games
Every Dad4Kids game is built on one simple truth: children want to play, not study — so we turn learning into a game worth replaying. The method draws on peer-reviewed research in game-based learning, motivation, and how memory works.
