There are so many ways kids can learn on IXL, including playing games! Did you know IXL’s comprehensive curriculum includes more than 120 educational games for pre-K through 5th grade?
Each game invites learners on an adventure full of dynamic challenges while helping them work on important math and language arts concepts. They’re a fun and easy way to get your child excited about learning at home! Let’s take a closer look at IXL games and how they can make your child’s learning more joyful.
What are IXL games?
IXL games use play to provide hands-on practice in essential math and language arts topics, ranging from simple counting and learning the alphabet all the way to algebraic equations and verb conjugation.
These games were carefully crafted by educators and parents to help learners build foundational skills. The games are enriching and fun, featuring vibrant worlds filled with unique characters, lively animations, and interactive challenges!
How to play IXL games
You can find games in the Learning tab, under both the math and language arts subjects. You can also view them at the bottom of each Pre-K through 5th grade level landing page, or click the “Games” button in the top right corner to jump directly to the list of games.
To help you dive in, here are links to the IXL games for each grade level:
IXL games are available on IXL.com, and can be played on both desktop computers and mobile devices. Having an active subscription to IXL Math and/or IXL Language Arts grants you unlimited access to games for the subjects you’re subscribed to.
You can also choose to disable access to games in the Profile & settings menu, and you can re-enable access at any time.
Using IXL games at home
Here are a few ways we recommend using IXL games to enhance your child’s education.
Additional enrichment
IXL games are a great way to give your learner some extra practice in a topic they’re working on. For example, is your child learning order of operations? High-Stakes Heist will task them with solving equations in the correct order to crack a safe code. Are they learning about the different parts of speech? Parts of Speech Quest will test their understanding as they adventure through a fantasy kingdom.
Games are especially good at helping kids learn during weekends and over breaks, keeping them sharp and minimizing vacation “slide.”
Reward
Your child is sure to find at least one game that they just can’t wait to play again! You can use those games as rewards to celebrate reaching a goal or completing a task.
Friendly competition
Some games, like Clear It Addition, will keep score as learners play. Challenge your child to beat their old high score, or set up a friendly head-to-head competition with a sibling or peer to give them some extra motivation.
Online safety with IXL games
