Play Count on Me More in The Bobbing Billabong

How it plays

Numbers drift around a screen divided into patches. Your child drags each number into the patch that matches it. It is Ps and Qs wearing numbers, which is deliberate: the same hands-on sorting, a different thing to learn.

What it's for

Reading a number and putting it where it belongs. Your child sets the difficulty on the first screen — how fast things move, how many there are — so the game meets them where they are rather than deciding they aren't good enough.

There is no score to lose, no timer running out on them, and no way to fail. A level ends when it's won. That's the only way it ends.

What it costs, and what we collect

Nothing, and nothing. There is no account, no advertising and no tracking of any kind. Which games have been played is remembered on your own device and is never sent anywhere. The full version is here, and it's short.

I counted the leaves on a very tall tree, I got up to seven, then eight, then to three, I'd muddled them up, as you'll probably see — So if you can help, you can Count on Me!

Where it lives

Count on Me lives in The Bobbing Billabong — numbers and counting. It works on a phone, a tablet or a classroom screen, and once it's been opened it keeps working with no signal at all.
