🧑‍🏫 For grown-ups

🖼️ My Gallery

Pictures your child saved from Paint Studio and the Colouring Book. They are kept only on this device: there is no upload, no sharing and no public gallery. You can print a picture, save it as an image file, or delete it.

💭 My Thoughts book

Children tell what they think in My Thoughts by tapping picture cards (nothing is typed). What they chose to keep is listed here as a conversation starter. It is kept only on this device.

📚 My stories

Children make stories in Story Maker by tapping picture cards (nothing is typed, and no voice is recorded). The stories they chose to keep are listed here, with the pictures they added from My Gallery. They are kept only on this device.

🎛️ Game options

Off: the sums are set out in columns, one box at a time, as in school. The words in games (English or Hindi) are in ⚙️ Settings.

Activity groups proposed

Activities are grouped to help you choose. The ages are a suggestion that has not yet been checked by an early-years educator, so please use your own judgement: every child is different. Children do not see ages.

About KidsZone

KidsZone is a free learning website from MindStick Software Pvt. Ltd. for children aged about 3 to 9. Children can look at and listen to 853 pictures (letters, numbers, colours, animals, food, vehicles, places), and play simple games: picture quiz, ABC order, letter basket, number match, spelling, maths, tic tac toe, photo puzzle, memory and clock. For Class 1–3 there are number games too: skip counting, two-digit adding and taking away, the number chart, before and after, and bigger or smaller - and word and thinking games: missing letter, fill the sentence, odd one out and what comes next. In the Create group children can paint, colour in pictures, tell what they think by tapping picture cards, make stories, play music patterns and do small missions at home with a grown-up. Grown-ups can also make their own quiz (My quizzes, below) or a puzzle from their own photo (My Photo Puzzle).

Games are designed so children learn rather than fail: a wrong answer gets a gentle "Try again!" and the child keeps going until they find the answer.

Privacy

• No analytics, no advertising. We do not use cookies, social-media buttons or any third-party services.
• No personal data is collected. There are no accounts and no chat, and children are never asked for their name. The only form is on this page, for grown-ups to write questions (My quizzes); what you type is saved only on this device.
• Progress stays on this device. To show you the summary above, this browser remembers counts only - games finished, right answers, tries, the level reached, which questions or steps (such as carrying) needed more tries, which pictures were looked at - and the day (not the time). It is never sent to us or anyone else, it is forgotten after 90 days without play, and you can pause it or delete it above at any time.
• The daily challenge remembers a streak on this device. To count "days in a row", this browser keeps the last day the five questions were finished, the streak and the best streak - days and counts only. It is never sent to us, it is forgotten after 90 days without play, it stops while you pause progress, and "Delete all progress" above deletes it.
• "Do you remember?" keeps a short list on this device. After your child answers a number question right, this browser keeps the game, the question and the day, so the Daily challenge can ask it again after 1, 3, 7 and 14 days. It is never sent to us, it holds at most 150 questions, anything not met for 90 days is forgotten, it stops while you pause progress, and "Delete all progress" above deletes it.
• My Gallery keeps pictures on this device. When your child saves a picture from Paint Studio or the Colouring Book, the picture (made small first) is kept in this browser's own database, with a short list of the day it was saved. At most 50 pictures are kept, and saving one more puts the oldest away. Nothing is uploaded or posted, and there is no public gallery. A picture not looked at for 90 days is forgotten (a year if you choose "keep longer" in My Gallery above). It stops while you pause progress, and "Delete all progress" above deletes it. You can see, print, save as an image file or delete the pictures in My Gallery above.
• The My Thoughts book keeps picture-card choices on this device. Children never type in My Thoughts; they tap picture cards. If they choose "Keep in my book", this browser keeps which sentence it was, the cards they tapped, the day and, if they picked one, which gallery picture - never any typed words. At most 100 thoughts are kept and each is forgotten after 90 days (a year if you choose "keep longer"). They are shown only on this page, after the grown-up check. If sad, worried, scared or lonely faces are chosen several times in a week, a gentle note appears here, worked out on this device; your child never sees it and it is never sent to us. It stops while you pause progress, and "Delete all progress" above deletes it.
• My stories keeps picture-card choices on this device. Children never type in Story Maker; they tap picture cards, and there are no voice notes. If they choose "Keep in My stories", this browser keeps the level, the four cards they tapped, the order of the pages, the gallery pictures they added and the day - never any typed words and never a voice. At most 30 stories are kept and each is forgotten after 90 days (a year if you choose "keep longer"). They are shown only on this page, after the grown-up check. It stops while you pause progress, and "Delete all progress" above deletes it; "Delete all stories" in My stories does too.
• Missions remember which ones were ticked. When your child taps "Done!" on a Real-world Mission, this browser keeps the mission's number and the day - nothing else, no photos and no words. It holds at most 150, each is forgotten after 90 days, it is never sent to us, it stops while you pause progress, and "Delete all progress" above deletes it. Missions are always done together with a grown-up; KidsZone only shows a count for the week, never a streak.
• The Create activities never use the camera or the microphone, never let children type, and have nothing to share from the child's side.
• My quizzes and photos stay on this device. Quizzes are saved in this browser's local storage, and photos you add (for a quiz or for My Photo Puzzle) in its own database, made smaller first. Nothing is uploaded. Anything not used for 90 days is forgotten, and you can delete them all above.
• A share link carries the quiz itself. Its questions are packed into the link after the # sign, which browsers do not send to any website, so nothing is stored on MindStick's server. Your own photos are never put in a link. Anyone who has the link can read the questions, so share it only with people you trust. A shared quiz opens on this page first, and is kept only if you choose to keep it.
• My Photo Puzzle cuts your photo up in this browser. The photo is never uploaded; a small copy is kept on this device only if you switch on "Keep for next time".
• Everything comes from this website. Pictures, sounds, fonts and scripts are served by KidsZone itself; nothing is loaded from other companies.
• Settings stay on your device. Sound, voice, calm mode, "tap instead of drag", the words in games (English or Hindi), the sums layout and the star count are saved in your browser's local storage and are never sent to us.
• Read-aloud uses your device. Words are spoken with the speech voices built into your device or browser. KidsZone only uses voices that your browser marks as on-device.
• Listening is off unless you switch it on. When it is on, the microphone is used only after your child taps the 🎤 button, for one answer, and it stops by itself. KidsZone never records or keeps their voice; speech is turned into words on this device, or by your browser's online service only if you allow it above.
• The language is worked out on this device from its language and time zone - never from your location. You can change it in ⚙️ Settings.

Tips

• Tap the ⚙️ button (top right) to turn sounds or reading aloud off, or to switch on calm mode, which removes bouncing and confetti for children who prefer less movement. KidsZone also follows your device's "reduce motion" setting.
• Every game can be played with a mouse, a finger or a keyboard: tap one thing and then tap where it should go, or drag it. If dragging is hard, switch on Tap instead of drag in ⚙️ settings.
• Games come in short sets (a few questions or one big puzzle) that end with a screen of stars. If a set went well, that screen offers the next level; after a few difficult rounds it offers an easier one. You can turn these suggestions off above, and children can always pick a level themselves.
• Every game has a 💡 Hint button: it gives a clue (and makes the right pieces glow) without giving the answer away.
• In the number games for Class 1–3 the child works the answer out and types it on an on-screen number pad (a keyboard's number keys work too). After two tries at one step, the answer and a short reason are shown and read aloud, and the child types it in to carry on. The word and thinking games (missing letter, fill the sentence, odd one out, what comes next) also show the answer and a short reason after two tries; in Missing Letter a keyboard's letter keys tap the letter tiles.
• Some games have a 🖨️ Print a worksheet button under the game: 20 new questions like the game's, at the chosen level, on one A4 page, with an answer page if you want one. It is made in this browser and printed with your browser's print dialog (which can also save a PDF); nothing is sent to us.
• Under My quizzes you can write your own questions, or let KidsZone make 10 sums, a spelling list or a times-table quiz for you. Share gives a link you can send to a grandparent or teacher; it opens on their grown-ups page, where they choose whether to keep it.
• The progress summary shows the level each game reached and what needed more tries. Practise these starts a game on exactly those questions; Print summary prints the summary (or saves a PDF) with your browser.
• The ⭐ Daily challenge (a card on the home page) asks five mixed questions a day from number games your child has played, at the level they last played. Finishing the five adds a day to a gentle streak; a missed day just starts a new streak.
• When a number question has been answered right, the Daily challenge brings it back after 1, 3, 7 and 14 days, and a 🧠 Do you remember? card on the home page says when something is waiting. A question missed on the way comes back after one day. The progress summary shows how many were remembered after a week.
• The 🎨 Create group has no right or wrong answers: Paint Studio (brushes, stamps, shapes, a colour mixer, and a replay of the painting), the Colouring Book and My Thoughts (tapping picture cards to say how you feel or what you wish). Every finished creation ends with "Show a grown-up and tell them about it!" - the chat afterwards is the best part. Children can keep what they make in My Gallery or the My Thoughts book (above).
• The Create group also has Story Maker (pick a hero, a place, a small everyday problem and a helper; the story is shown and read aloud, and each page can have a picture from My Gallery), Music Patterns (a xylophone and drums that need no recording; with Sounds off the notes light up) and Real-world Missions (an easy, a medium or a weekly mission to do together at home, then tap Done!). Stories can be kept in My stories (above). Nothing is recorded, photographed or shared.
• In Memory there is a Name it choice, off unless you switch it on: when a pair is found, three names appear and the pair counts once the right one is tapped.
• Tap 🔊 to hear a question again; tap it twice to hear it slowly. In the picture galleries, 🐢 says a name slowly and spells it.
• The easy levels use everyday pictures; tricky levels include less common animals and vegetables.
