Little games. Big conversations.

Seven short talking games for children aged 3½ to 6, played together on a tablet at home.

The first game needs no account. Free while we are in beta.
Twelve friendly shape monsters in two rows

Five minutes, side by side

  1. Play together

    Pick a game. A friendly monster asks your child for help, and your child talks, taps and listens.

  2. Notice

    When the game ends, tap what you heard. Record answers to listen back, if you like.

  3. Grow

    Your family space keeps your notes, with simple ideas to try at home.

How a week with ABACA goes, and what you get

Seven places to visit

Each game is about one part of talking and listening. A visit takes about three to five minutes. The last card is a short check-in for grown-ups.

Fruit Shop is open to everyone. The other games need a free family account. Best on a tablet held sideways, with you sitting beside your child.

Your family space

Everything you noted, in one place.

  • Listen back to answers, if you chose to record
  • See which games you have played
  • A short parent check-in every six months, to watch how talking grows
  • Coming soon: a short play note each month, in plain words

Try this week
Photo chat. Look at family photos together and say what happened: “Grandma baked a cake. Then we ate it!”
An example. Every note is written only from your own taps.

Worried about your child’s talking?

ABACA is a play tool, and it cannot tell you whether a child has a difficulty. Speak to your health visitor, GP or a speech and language therapist.
