The Children's Area

We're big believers in the children who are using our apps discovering via exploring for themselves, so we're not going to give too much in the way of "How To" here, suffice to say that if you have a problem and your child really doesn't understand how to work any aspect of the app, e-mail us and we will do all we can to help.

However, a few basics can definitely help, so here goes...

Child Access

For a child to be able to access the times tables games and educational content within the app, they need their own username and password, which you can set up for them via the Parent / Teacher zone, assuming you have a valid account / subscription. More information on how to sign up for a Squeebles Connect account, take out a subscription and create a child account can be found via our support section.

Logging In

Assuming your child has a login, they can sign in via the child login screen (shown below, left). If the last person to use the app was a child, who logged in via this screen, then the app will launch with this screen automatically. Your child can then enter their username and password (below, right).

If the app launches on the parent / teacher login screen then tap the "Child Login >" button at the top of the screen.

If this is the first time the app has been used on your device, you may see the "First Launch" screen. Follow the prompts and you will be taken to the child login screen.

Once your child has signed in, they should be welcomed by:

  • In Squeebles Spelling Connect, the Spelling Snake (see below, left)
  • In Squeebles Times Tables Connect, the Maths Monster (see below, right)

Game Types, Modes and Question Types

Each app has various options with regard to different game modes. Explore, have fun, try different things, but we've included a good starting point for each app below...

Squeebles Spelling Connect:

Try some of our pre-recorded spelling tests, by choosing the "Squeebles Test" option (see above, right) and then choosing a spelling list that's appropriate for your child's age / ability level from the subsequent screen.

Squeebles Times Tables Connect:

Try getting your child to attempt a times tables "set" that they're comfortable attempting, via the "Tables 1-12" button shown on the Child Home Screen (see above, right).

Other Rewards

Various other rewards are assigned as follows:

  • 10 points for every correct answer
  • 1 star for every correct answer
  • 5 bonus stars for getting full marks in a test with 5 or more questions in it.
  • 1 turn on the River Rapids (Squeebles Times Tables) or Sky Glider (Squeebles Spelling) game awarded for every 3 correct answers.
  • A random power up (to use in the relevant reward game) for getting 3, 5 or 10 questions correct in a row.
  • Occasional random rewards (stars, or turns on the app's reward game) awarded just for attempting a test!

River Rapids, Sky Glider & Trading Stars

You can trade the stars you have earned for items to use in the reward game in whichever app you're using. In Squeebles Spelling Connect, this is Sky Glider and you are trading stars for new mechanical birds to fly on. In Squeebles Times Tables Connect, this is River Rapids and you're trading stars for boats to speed through the water on. The more stars something "costs", the faster and further it will go!

Tip: if you use a Squeeble and a boat / bird with the same colour force then they will go further!
