The arcade also has two action games with cartoon violence, Sniper and Doomcrawl. We leave them off these lists on purpose; every game is on the games page. A game's "From" grade is where it is made to start; its questions follow the grade a child says they are in.
Which grades work on counting and making ten
The practice brain works on counting and making ten for Pre-K and Kindergarten. It starts a child on the rung their grade puts them on, then moves up when answers are solid, so a child ahead of their grade is not held back.
What is in it
| Skill | Items | How it is taught |
|---|---|---|
| Counting | 20 | The numbers 1 to 20, in order. A new child is treated as already knowing the first six (the first ten from 1st grade). |
| Making ten | 11 | The numbers 0 to 10 and how many more each needs to make ten, taken in this order: 5, 9, 1, 8, 2, 7, 3, 6, 4, 10, 0. |
The lesson parts that cover it
Beside the games, the math paths have short lessons on this skill. Every part is open, and ten right answers finish one.
| Grade | Parts | Some of them |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-K | 3 | Counting to 5, Counting to 10 and Count to 6 |
| Kindergarten | 6 | Count to 20, Ten and some more and Ten and ones, more |

Questions parents ask
Do these games need typing?
No. Every answer is one of three big boxes, so a child who cannot type or read well yet can play, and a wrong answer costs a little time, never a life.
Do they ask the same questions every time?
No. Questions come from the same practice brain behind the lessons, which brings counting and making ten back on a schedule and does not ask again what was answered right.
Is it free?
Yes, free through the end of 2026, with no sign-up. The games teach and review; Peabody is not a full curriculum and gives no test or score against other children.
