Learns for marks, not for life
Children memorise for tests, but rarely practise thinking, planning or solving a real problem.
Screen time that teaches real things
Play stories, build real skills. Speak English.
- Real-life skills

Sound familiar?
School teaches for exams. Who teaches the skills for life?
Reads English, shy to speak it
They read English in class, but go quiet when someone talks to them in it.
Good classes cost a lot
Every new skill is another class and another fee, and once a week isn't enough.
Screen time, wasted
They're on the phone anyway. It rarely teaches anything.
Khelo Sikho turns screen time into real learning: your child thinks, solves and speaks English, inside a story.
What your child practises
Real skills, inside one story.
Examples from our first story, The Midnight Ghost.
Numbers
Builds a ladder from boxes that make 10, and crosses a river on planks that add up.
Logic and clues
Works out who the ghost really is, from the clues the story leaves behind.
Planning
Plans the laddoo trap: where the sweets go, and where everyone hides.
Speaking English
Tells the characters what to do, out loud: “Jump, Biscuit!” “Switch on the lights!”
Reading
Puts a jumbled note in order and reads it, every word lighting up as it is read.
Practice off screen
A sheet with every chapter: sums, words and puzzles to do together on paper.
Future-ready
Skills for the world they're growing up in.
In an AI world, the skills that matter most are the human ones: thinking clearly, solving problems, making a plan and speaking up with confidence. Khelo Sikho practises them in every chapter, in English.

How it works
A story is a book. A chapter is one sitting.
1 · Listen
Every word lights up as it's read.
2 · Read along
Short lines in big words. Hindi lights the English it explains.
3 · Solve
Puzzles are the story's obstacles: a ladder of boxes, a torn note.
4 · Speak
Your child says it out loud, and the character answers.
5 · Decide
Your child makes choices, and the story follows them.
Playing together? Three small tips
- Sit with them for the first chapter. After that, many children want to play on their own.
- Say the funny lines together. Repeating a line is how it becomes theirs.
- Ask afterwards: "What happened to the ghost?" — in English or in Hindi. Both count.
Off the screen, too
A free practice sheet with every chapter.
- Print it at home — it's included, free.
- Sums, words and puzzles straight from the story.
- Short instructions for the grown-up, in plain words.
Made for Indian homes
English first. Hindi helping.
English is the language of every story. Hindi helps along the way, so a child who doesn't know a word yet is never lost.

Questions parents ask
Good questions.
Is it safe for my child?
No ads and no trackers. We never keep your child's voice — it is turned into text so a character can answer, and we keep neither the sound nor the text. A parent signs in, not the child. Read our privacy policy.
What age is it for?
It's made for children around 5 to 8 who are starting to read English. Older children who read English but rarely speak it enjoy it too.
What do I need?
A phone with Chrome or Safari — no app to install. The microphone lets your child speak to the characters; the story still works without it.
Is it really free?
Yes. The first story is free, with no card needed. The first 100 families get early access free while we build.
Is it only for English?
No. English is the language the stories speak. Inside them, your child counts, solves puzzles, plans and decides.
Can I limit screen time?
Yes. Chapters are short, each with a clear end, and in Parent settings you choose how many chapters your child can play a day.
Does it replace school or tuition?
No. It's a supplement: a short session a day where your child thinks, solves and speaks English, alongside school.
My child doesn't know much English yet. Will it work?
Yes, that's who it's for. Every story is in English, and Hindi helps along the way, so your child is never lost.
