The ages are the usual ones for each US grade. A game's questions follow the grade a child picks, not their age, so a child can play up or down. Peabody never asks a child's age.
What children are working on
At 5, most children are working on letters and the sounds they make, the first sight words, counting and adding small numbers. The games for that age are on free educational games for 5 year olds.
At 7, most children are working on reading longer sentences, spelling, adding and subtracting bigger numbers, and the first times tables. The games for that age are on free educational games for 7 year olds.
At 9, most children are working on multiplication and division, longer words, fractions and reading for meaning. The games for that age are on free games for 9 year olds.

Questions parents ask
Are these games free?
Yes. Every game is free through the end of 2026, with no ads, no download and no sign-up to start playing.
Which page is for a 3 or 4 year old?
The preschool learning games. They are tap-only, with every question said aloud, so a child who cannot read yet can play.
Do I need to tell Peabody my child's age?
No. Peabody never asks a child's age. When a game asks for a grade, pick the one your child is in. They can pick a different grade at any time.
My child is older than 10. Where do they go?
Try the middle school games, or the arcade for every game.
