How Skill Sidekick works

Play it. Practise it. Master it.

Every skill comes as a free game and a matching activity book, so learning carries on from the screen to the page.

Free games

Bright, gentle games children actually want to play. No signup, no ads, no cost, right in the browser.

Activity books

Full-colour workbooks that match each game, built around the real UK curriculum and school teaching order.

A friendly guide

Every adventure has a sidekick who cheers children on, never cross about mistakes, turning practice into a quest worth finishing.
