Help your children with the school curriculum at home
Looking for a way to help your children with the school curriculum at home? Busy Things for Families offers over 1000 exciting educational games that will help you to guide, support, and develop your child’s learning at home.
All of our activities have been designed to build on the skills your child is learning at school, including core subjects like English and phonics, maths, geography, science, music and art, and even newer topics like coding. All games and activities are aligned to the national curriculum in England, Scotland, Wales and Australia, and have been checked by our team of expert advisors to make sure they’re in-keeping with the syllabus.
Each child profile will be marked against the curriculum objectives that they will be working towards at school, so you know they'll be practising and developing the right skills — and having lots of fun too!
