PARENT CHALLENGES IN THE APP
Choose a game. Set a challenge. See how they do.
Create a specific task for your child to complete in TinyNinza. Review the content and difficulty before sending it to their own device.
Example parent app screens · Names, games and values are illustrative. Challenge settings apply to that challenge.
PARENT REPORTS
See the activity behind “I played a game.”
Recorded activity gives you something specific to ask about. Explore subjects, play time and recent game results in the parent view.
- Activity by subject
- See which subjects appear in your child’s recorded sessions.
- Recorded play time
- Review the time recorded during play for the selected period.
- Recent game scores
- Look at the games played and their recorded results.
Try asking
“Show me that game.”
“What was tricky?”
“What would you try next?”
Activity and scores describe recorded practice. They do not establish curriculum mastery.
MONTHLY LEARNING REPORTS
Look beyond a single game score.
Open a saved report for a completed month. Review the answers and skills recorded during play, then choose something to explore together.
Recorded answers
Look at correct, incorrect and skipped answers where question-level outcomes were recorded.
Skills practised
See the learning skills linked to the questions your child has practised.
Ideas to try next
Use the report’s suggested next activities as a starting point for practice and conversation.
Report detail depends on the data recorded during play. Older sessions that saved only a score do not include question-by-question history.
PARENT GAME CONTROLS
Choose what is available and how it is played.
Review each game before making it available to your child. The app keeps regular game settings separate from the settings for a particular challenge.
- Game availability
- Choose whether an individual game is available to your child.
- Content grade
- Choose among the grade content available for that game. Your child’s profile grade stays the same.
- Difficulty
- Use the game’s available automatic or selected-level options.
- Try it yourself
- Explore the game as a parent. Your practice does not change your child’s progress.
THE CHILD’S APP EXPERIENCE
A familiar place to practise and return to.
Children can choose games, find their next challenge and see their recorded activity in their own TinyNinza view.
Return to a game
Find recent games and personal best scores. The home view also shows activity streaks and the week’s recorded play.
Learn how to play
Open in-game Help for a step-by-step example and replay it when needed. How-to examples do not add to the child’s score.
Find their challenges
Teacher, parent and TinyNinza challenges appear together with their source shown. Some challenges include a leaderboard.

PRACTICAL QUESTIONS
Questions parents ask.
Which grades are the games for?
The library is designed for Grades 1–5. Individual games have their own grade ranges; use these as a starting point when choosing a suitable task.
Can we try a game before using the app?
Yes. Available website games can be tried without signing in. Read the instructions and choose a skill your child is practising.
Does website practice appear in the app reports?
No. Anonymous website practice does not save to a TinyNinza app account. Reports show activity recorded in the account-based experience.
Can I set a challenge for my child?
The parent app lets you choose a game, review its challenge settings and send it to your child to complete on their own device.
Can I follow more than one child?
Add or link your children in the parent app, then switch between them. Each child has their own challenges, game settings and recorded reports.
Can we play together?
Selected app games support multiplayer on separate devices. The available games and invitation flow are shown in Play together.
What do reports tell me?
The activity overview shows recorded subjects, play time and scores. Monthly reports add recorded answer outcomes, practised learning elements and suggested next activities where the data is available. Older score-only sessions do not contain question-level history.
“Show me how you made ten.”
A simple question can turn a game into a shared moment.
