Plug-ins
We use free plug-ins to make games more fun and interactive. If you can't see our games then you may need to download the plug-ins listed below. Each of these can be downloaded for free:
Flash-based Games
When playing Flash-based games from our website you may notice that they may not perform as expected. Why? Because many browsers have stopped loading or playing Flash content. Near the end of 2020, the Flash games will stop working completely. That is the reason why we have started to replace all the Flash content with JavaScript and HTML5.
Although Flash will be obsolete by the end of 2020, we will keep the Flash games going as long as we can. Therefore, the previous version is still available. All the Flash-based games are listed on these pages:
If you are having trouble playing our Flash games, the following troubleshooting steps may help to resolve the issue:
HTML5 Games
Our newest games use HTML5. It is a different, newer technology that is enabled in your browser automatically without the need for a plug-in. HTML5 online games should work long into the future.
These games have different requirements than Flash games (certain graphics cards and drivers). If you can't run them, follow these troubleshooting steps:
For Internet Explorer users, our new HTML5 games don't run as well on Internet Explorer as Flash games. For best performance we recommend the Chrome Browser.
Audio Files
Most of our online lessons, games and activities are accompanied by audio files. You play sound when click on a picture, text or sound icon.
The audio files are in the mp3 format which works in the newest versions of all major browsers. It is supported by Firefox/Firefox for Android/Firefox OS when the operating system provides an MP3 decoder, and by Internet Explorer, Chrome and Safari.
If you cannot hear our audio files, it is because your browser does not support the audio element.
