The Connection Grade™ breakdown
Four things we grade, each one judged on what this game actually does. Open any row to see why.
PBS Kids Games is built primarily for solo touchscreen play by preschoolers rather than simultaneous multiplayer, though sharing a tablet to guide menu navigation or sing along with Daniel Tiger provides gentle lap-play engagement.
Skills this builds
- Co-piloting menu navigation when younger toddlers struggle to read prompts
- Singing along together with familiar character songs and audio cues
- Taking turns solving puzzle boards or sorting items on screen
Try this together
When Daniel Tiger sings a strategy song about waiting your turn, sing the jingle out loud together before taking the next tap.
