How to play Clean the Park
Golu’s park is messy. One piece of litter at a time hops up in front of two bins, and Golu asks "Which bin does it go in?". The green bin takes food and leaves, the blue bin takes paper, bottles and boxes. Your child taps a bin, the lid opens, and a flower grows where the litter was. When the park is clean, the butterflies come back.
Everything is spoken aloud in your child's language, so a child who cannot read yet can still play. The word also appears on screen in your own script, so print and sound arrive together. Tap 🔊 to hear the question again.
No wrong answers, only another try
If your child taps the wrong one, it still says its own name, which is its own little lesson, and Golu asks again. After a second try the right one bounces or wiggles to help. Nobody loses and there is no timer. At the end a marble drops into Golu's jar.
What your child learns from this clean up game for kids
Keeping shared places clean, and a first step in sorting waste: food and leaves in the green bin, paper, bottles and boxes in the blue bin. At this age children learn best by doing one clear thing and seeing something happen straight away, which is why every tap makes the 3D world move and answer straight away.
Play it together: recycling game for 3 year olds at home
Sit with your child for the first round and say the words with Golu. Point at it, name it, and let your child tap. Five minutes is plenty. Then try the same thing for real, away from the screen.

Now do it for real
When the screen goes off, do something with your hands. Try 🥚 The bouncy egg — an easy science experiment for ages 5-6, with every step read aloud in your language. You will need one raw egg, a glass of vinegar, two days of waiting; nothing that needs a trip to a shop.
There are 56 more on the things to do at home page, and free printable worksheets if you would rather have something on paper. Ten minutes on a screen and twenty minutes off it is a good shape for a day at this age.
