P1 Learning Games — First Year of Primary School

Ages 4-6 · Early Level of the Curriculum for Excellence

P1 is the very beginning of the adventure. Everything here is short, colourful and playful, because five-year-olds learn best when they are having fun and can stop whenever they like.

What P1 learners work on

  • Counting, matching and recognising numbers to 20
  • Letter sounds and rhyming words
  • Naming shapes, colours and living things
  • Holding a pencil and forming letters
