Play · Fifteen little games
Run along Lake Como, jump over the cypress trees and collect the gold stars. One tap to jump.
Bounce up the marble ledges of the Duomo to the golden Madonnina. Steer left and right.
Match each picture with its word and learn it in Arabic, Italian, Urdu, English and Hindi.
Move the basket and catch the falling pastries. Mind the pigeon! Made for the youngest players.
Trace the 28 Arabic letters with a finger; a sparkle when the shape is right. A first step towards reading the Quran.
Drive Milan's yellow tram number 1 and brake so the doors stop right at the platform. Every passenger who boards is a point.
Cook risotto alla milanese: tap the ingredient the recipe asks for as it slides past on the counter. Three hearts, faster every recipe.
Steer the little ferry between Bellagio, Varenna and Menaggio, pick up passengers and dodge the swans and speedboats.
Join the numbered stars in order over the Duomo and watch a boat, a tram or a cat appear in the night sky. Numbers in five languages.
Pop the floating letters in the right order to spell the word in English or Italian, with its meaning in your language.
Sums, take-aways and small tables at a fruit stall on the Navigli: tap the basket with the right answer before the minute runs out.
Shoo the pigeons popping up around Piazza del Duomo, catch the golden one, and leave the little cat alone. Made for the youngest.
Pop only the balloons of the colour named at the top; the word changes language as you play, so you learn ten colours in five tongues.
Carve down the mountains above Lake Como, pass between the flags and miss the trees. Steer with a finger or the arrow keys.
Four bells ring a tune in the campanile; ring them back in the same order. The tune grows by one bell each round. Sound on!
Each one loads in a second, works with a finger or a keyboard, and collects gold stars for the badge board.

Everything in the Kids Area is made by Hajra Milano and hosted on this site: no advertising, no tracking, no links to other sites, no accounts. Scores and stars are stored in the browser on your own device and can be cleared like any other site data.
The games are short on purpose. They are meant for a few minutes on the tram or in a waiting room, not for hours. The Letter Tracer is a playful first step; real Quran and Arabic reading is taught in our lessons.
Stories are read aloud by the voice built into your phone or computer, in the language of the page. Some devices have no voice for Hindi or Arabic; the text is always there to read together.
The score boards show the ten best scores of each game. A child who reaches the top ten can add a name or nickname; an email address and a phone number are optional and meant for a parent or guardian, who ticks the consent box. Only the name and the score are shown publicly; the details are kept by Hajra Milano and removed on request (see the privacy notice).
