How to play Longest Snake
Three friendly striped snakes slither out of the same log in Golu’s garden. Golu asks “Which snake is the longest?” (or the shortest) and your child taps one. Then little blocks line up beside every snake and Golu counts them, so your child sees exactly how many blocks long each snake is.
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
Comparing lengths from the same starting line, longest and shortest, and measuring with units, in your language. 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
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.

All of Golu's 3D games are on the 3D games for kids page, sorted by age.
Now do it for real
When the screen goes off, do something with your hands. Try 🍃 Leaf rubbings — an easy craft for ages 3-6, with every step read aloud in your language. You will need leaves from outside, thin paper, a crayon with the paper peeled off; 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.
