The Briarpatch School Readiness games are designed to encourage active participation, foster a love for learning, and develop cognitive and social skills in a playful environment. The games use popular themes that are entertaining for kids to have fun while promoting holistic learning, away from screens.
Criss-Cross Applesauce: a fun, auditory, and physical activity game that has kids active, engaged and learning. To play, players sit down (criss-cross style 😊) and act out activities like tracing letters, roaring like a lion, or doing jumping jacks.

Letter, Number or Bug: a game that tackles one of the most important determinants of future success – The basics of letter and number recognition prior to entering school for the first time. This action-meets-learning game has players jump up and race around to identify letters, numbers and bugs. This game boosts motor skills, coordination, and lays the foundation for early literacy and numeracy.

Hocus Pocus, Everybody Focus: a memory game that hones visual-spatial and recall skills. Players each take a mask and are challenged to memorize which tactile or flat objects have been added or removed from the play area. This game reinforces Coordination by adding and removing objects from the play area; Mathematics as kids engage their spatial awareness and memory; and Literacy as it reinforces word concepts.
