Language games for 2, 3 and 4 year olds

Good language games for toddlers are short, calm and repeat the same words in new ways. Here is which EveryLingo games suit each age, in one language or two at the same time.

Short answer

For 2 year olds: Flashcards and Sound Match (hear a word, tap the picture). For 3 year olds: add Memory Match. For 4 year olds and up: Listening Match and Reading Match, which show the written word while it is spoken. None of the games use timers or speed.

What makes a good toddler language game

No time pressure

Some words are longer to say than others, so EveryLingo never uses timers or speed.

Calm screens

No flashing, sudden or fast movement, and no ads.

Repetition with variety

The same words come back in different games, so practice feels new.

Any language, or two

Play in one language, or two at the same time, in 142 language options.
