Free games for 5 and 6 year olds
By five and six, kids want a challenge: a score to beat, a maze that takes some working out, something that needs quick fingers. These are the trickier games on the site - still friendly, still no reading needed, but with more to master.
For quick fingers there's Unicorn Pinball, Lenny's Banana Catch and Glitter Getaway, and Unicorn Penalty Shoot-out asks how many goals they can score in a row. For thinkers, Chomper's Toot Toot Delivery is a train puzzle about flicking the right switches, and Whirly's Cloud Maze and Sparklehoof's Maze are the biggest mazes we have.
Jigsaws, memory matching and the jungle, digger and trick-or-treat mazes are here too. Younger brothers and sisters can find easier games on the games for 4 year olds and toddler games pages.
Questions parents ask
Which games suit 5 and 6 year olds best?
The 4+ games are the most challenging: Unicorn Pinball, Unicorn Penalty Shoot-out, Lenny's Banana Catch, Glitter Getaway and the train puzzle Chomper's Toot Toot Delivery. The mazes and jigsaws are good for slower, thinking play.
Do the games get harder?
Several do - the mazes have levels that grow as you go, and games like the penalty shoot-out and pinball have scores and streaks to beat, so there's always a reason for one more go.
Can they play on a computer with a keyboard?
Yes. Most games work with the arrow keys or space bar on a computer, as well as touch on a tablet or phone. Each game card says which controls it uses.
Is there anything to pay for or sign up to?
No. Every game is free, with no ads, no in-game shop, no sign-ups and no chat. Nothing your child does is collected. More on the For parents page.
