How does the UpToTen
search engine work ?
To use the search engine, click on this button
in the UpToTen Kids gray navigation bar.
You and your child can use the search engine in several ways :
- Type a question or a list of words that describe an activity that your
child wants to play. OR - Ask your child to describe the game in
their own words. If your child finds the game, it will be all the more
fun to play !
Hints :
Be as specific as you can when you
describe a game. Avoid using sentences that contain ONLY words that
describe all the games : Try : Kwala having a
cold shower Rather than : The funny game
with Kwala
You can also try "talking"
to the search engine : Try : Are there any snowmen
in this site ? Try : I would like a color
game with a flower. Try : Hello search engine,
I would like a maze. I want to help Boowa or Kwala when they get
lost, please.
No negative sentences, please : Avoid: I
don't want any snowmen, thanks.
OR
- Choose a game category :
mazes, races, jigsaws... OR
- Choose an educational category if you want to
encourage your child to develop specific skills.
