Big World

Big World practises noticing people, routines and caring choices in pictured scenes. Helper Heroes asks who can help, which tool they use and where they work. Eco Helpers offers choices about rubbish, water, reuse and looking after nature. Day & Night connects sky clues and familiar routines with parts of the day. Your child listens to each short question and taps one of two pictured answers.

Play Big World free Ages 2–6 All 3 games suit ages 2–4 and 4–6

Every game is free for every family until 20 November 2026. No card, no payment.

Where to start

For ages 2–4, begin with Day & Night's sky and routine pictures, then try Helper Heroes to name who helps. For ages 4–6, start with Helper Heroes, then Eco Helpers for caring choices. Both bands use the same content banks; later levels include helpers' workplaces and reuse or recycling choices.

Every game starts at Seed, level 1, and climbs to Shine. Good play climbs a level; a hard day holds it, and a level earned is never taken away.
