Math and spelling games for kids on Roku
A Roku in the living room can be more than cartoons. A good learning game turns the TV into a place to practice sums and spelling together, with the remote everyone already knows how to use. Here is what to look for, and the games we make for it.
What to look for in a learning game for the TV
- Difficulty that fits your child. A five-year-old adding to 10 and a ten-year-old learning times tables need different questions. Look for levels you can set per child.
- Playable with the remote. Answers should map to the arrow buttons, with no typing.
- Practice that repeats mistakes. The best games bring back the questions a child missed.
- Several kids, one TV. Separate saved progress means siblings don't overwrite each other.
- No ads and no data collection. Kids' games should not show ads or ask for accounts.
Dungeon Crawl: math and spelling RPG
Every monster is beaten by answering a question with the remote. Easy (ages 5–7) starts with adding up to 5; Medium (7–9) reaches two-digit sums and the 2, 5 and 10 times tables; Hard (9–11) covers times tables to 10, division and two-step sums. Spelling, patterns, clocks, money and road safety are mixed in, missed questions come back for practice, and up to four kids each keep their own hero. Ten worlds, free, no ads.
Starhopper: for kids who love space
Not a math drill, but a space adventure that teaches along the way: fly to real stars near the Sun, collect fact cards about each one, and answer quiz signals that explain the answer when you get it wrong. Free on Roku, no ads.
