Pick Your Planet
Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, Pluto. Each one has 14-16 lessons grouped by topic — animals on Earth, emotions on Mars, dinosaurs on Uranus.
Spin the Game Wheel
Each lesson comes with a wheel of mini-games. Spin, land on one, play it. Matching, memory, bubble pop, word builder... 17 types total.
Build Your Alien Crew
Finish lessons to discover 20 alien creatures — from Zorp to Nova. Kids want to collect them all, which means they keep playing and the vocab keeps building.
Build Your Spaceship
Every lesson drops ship parts. Kids fit them together like a puzzle and watch their ship go from a rusty tin can to something that actually looks cool. 8 tiers total.

WhykidskeeplearningEnglish.
Zero Translation
No word lists, no flashcards. Kids pick up meaning from pictures, sounds, and play. The same way they learned their first language.
Invisible Spaced Repetition
A word shows up again days later in a completely different game. Kids don't even notice they're reviewing.
Growth Mindset Built In
Wrong answers don't end the game. Kids lose a heart, try again, and the word sticks better because they got it wrong first.
The Game Wheel
Same vocabulary, different game every time. Monday it's a memory match, Tuesday a word builder. Keeps it fresh and hits every word from different angles.

“My 4-year-old asks to 'play the alien game' every morning. She doesn't even realize she's learning English. She just thinks she's helping aliens.”
Maria S.
Mom of 2, Spain
“We've tried Duolingo Kids and Lingokids. This is the only one where my son finishes a full session. The Game Wheel keeps him guessing.”
Kenji T.
Dad, Japan
“I’m an ESL teacher and this is the first app I’ve told parents to actually download. The no-translation thing is what we do in class — learn from context, not word lists.”
Sarah L.
ESL Teacher, Canada
“I love that there's nothing to buy inside the game. My kids use it on the iPad and I don't worry about them seeing something inappropriate or accidentally purchasing anything.”
Priya K.
Mom of 3, India
“The offline mode is a lifesaver. We downloaded it before a 12-hour flight and both kids were occupied learning English vocabulary the entire time.”
Andreas M.
Dad, Germany
“My daughter went from knowing zero English words to recognizing over 80 in two months. The creature collection keeps her motivated to do 'just one more lesson.'”
Yuki H.
Mom, South Korea

No. It was built with young learners in mind, but the no-translation method works for complete beginners of any age. Adults starting English from scratch begin at Earth, work through the planets at their own pace, and find the game mechanics surprisingly engaging. If you're a total beginner, age doesn't matter.
Ages 3 to 10, covering CEFR levels Pre-A1 through A2. Younger kids (3-5) get tap and match games. Older kids (7-10) get dictation, conversation, and sentence building.
Yes, all 102 lessons, 17 game types, and 7 planets are free to play. No hidden costs.
No. It works fully offline after the first visit. On a plane, in a car, at grandma's house with bad Wi-Fi. Doesn't matter.
We collect nothing. No accounts, no emails, no analytics. All progress stays on the device. COPPA compliant, and there are no external links inside the game.
No translation, ever. Kids learn English through context, pictures, and play, based on Krashen's Comprehensible Input theory. Words come back across different game types so they stick without kids noticing they're reviewing.
There are 102 lessons spread across 7 planets (Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, Pluto), with 14-16 lessons per planet. Each lesson can be played through 17 different game types including matching, memory, bubble pop, word builder, dictation, conversation, and more.
Yes! Small Universe supports up to 4 player profiles on a single device. Each child gets their own name, avatar, progress tracking, creature collection, and difficulty level.
None. The whole point is that no other language is used. Kids learn through pictures, sounds, and gameplay, so it works regardless of what language they speak at home.
