Tables for kids are usually taught in class 2 or class 3, but many 5 and 6 year olds love chanting the table of 2 or 10 long before that, the same way they love reciting a rhyme. On this page your child picks a table from 2 to 10, taps any line such as "2 × 3 = 6" to hear "two times three is six", or presses "Say the table" to hear the whole table read aloud. The full tables chart from 2 to 10 sits just above this article, ready to print.
Tables are a stretch goal, not a requirement, for children under 6. At 5-6 the important maths is counting to 20, "one more", and adding within 10. Use tables as a listening and chanting game, and never as a test.
What are times tables, in words a child understands?
A times table is quick counting in jumps. The table of 2 is counting in twos: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10. "2 times 3" means three jumps of two, or three groups of two things. Show it with pairs of socks: one pair is 2 socks, two pairs are 4, three pairs are 6. This picture of "equal groups" is what multiplication really is, and it comes long before memorising.
In Hindi a table is called a पहाड़ा (pahada). The game speaks each line as दो गुणा तीन बराबर छह (do guna teen barabar chhah). Many families also know the traditional chant दो एकम दो, दो दूनी चार (do ekam do, do duni chaar); both mean the same thing, and you can chant the traditional version alongside.
The right age and order for tables
| Age / class | What fits | Tables to try |
|---|---|---|
| 3-4 (nursery) | Counting 1 to 10; no tables yet | Count pairs of shoes by ones |
| 4-5 (LKG, KG) | Counting to 20, hearing "2, 4, 6" as a song | Listen to the table of 2 only |
| 5-6 (UKG) | Skip counting by 2, 5 and 10 out loud | 2, 10 and 5, as listening and chanting |
| 6-7 (class 1) | Equal groups with objects; table of 2 in class 1 in many schools | 2, 5, 10, then 3 and 4 |
| 7-8 (class 2, 3) | Learning tables 2 to 10 by heart | All tables 2 to 10 |
The easiest order is 2, 10 and 5 (they follow clear patterns), then 3 and 4, then 9, then 6, 7 and 8. Table of 2 and 3 together are a common first pair in school, and tables for kids 2 to 5 are plenty for a first year.
How to use the tables game
- Pick a table. The buttons 2 to 10 switch the table. The big number at the top shows which one you are on.
- Tap a line to hear it once, for example "five times four is twenty".
- Say the table reads all ten lines, lighting each one. When it finishes, a marble drops into the Goli Jar.
- Language. The अ+A button in the header switches between English and Hindi.
- Calm mode. Settings (behind a grown-up check) offer calm sound and calm motion.
Let your child say each answer before the voice does. Tap the line, pause, and let them guess.
How to teach tables to kids without pressure
Parents often ask how to make a child learn tables. The best answer is: slowly, with objects and rhythm, never with drills or punishment. Try these five-minute activities:
- Skip count on the stairs. Jump two steps at a time and say 2, 4, 6. Try tens on a 1-100 chart: 10, 20, 30.
- Equal groups. Make 3 plates with 2 biscuits each. "How many biscuits? Count them all." That is 3 × 2.
- Hands and fingers. Count fingers on hands in fives: 5, 10, 15, 20. The table of 5 lives on your hands.
- Clap and chant. Chant the table of 2 with claps on each answer. Rhythm makes tables easier to remember, just like a song.
- Find patterns. In the table of 10 every answer ends in 0. In the table of 5 answers end in 5 or 0. In the table of 2 every answer is even. Children love spotting these.
How to remember tables for kids who are older
For 7 and 8 year olds, a few tricks help: 9 × a number, where the answer's digits add up to 9 (18, 27, 36); doubles (the table of 4 is double the table of 2); and turning facts round (3 × 5 is the same as 5 × 3). The patterns game builds the pattern-spotting habit that makes tables easier later.
Table of 2 in English words
| Table of 2 | In English words | In Hindi |
|---|---|---|
| 2 × 1 = 2 | Two ones are two | दो एकम दो |
| 2 × 2 = 4 | Two twos are four | दो दूनी चार |
| 2 × 3 = 6 | Two threes are six | दो तिया छह |
| 2 × 4 = 8 | Two fours are eight | दो चौके आठ |
| 2 × 5 = 10 | Two fives are ten | दो पंजे दस |
The table of 2 written in English words continues the same way up to two tens are twenty. The game says it as "two times one is two", which children also hear in school.
Table of 2 in nursery, LKG, UKG and class 1
Some schools send the table of 2 for UKG class homework, and a few even list the table of 2 for LKG class. At that age treat it as a song: listen on this page, chant it in the car, and draw the table of 2 with pictures, such as 1 pair of eyes, 2 pairs of eyes, 3 pairs of eyes. For a table of 2 activity, give your child 10 pairs of buttons to line up in twos. A table of 2 worksheet for grade 1 can then ask for the missing answers. Tables games for kids work best when they are short, such as rolling a die and doubling the number.
Printable tables chart and worksheet ideas
There is no PDF to download, but printing this page from your browser gives you a clean tables chart from 2 to 10, with every table in its own box. Stick the table of 2 chart near the dining table and read it together once a day. For a simple worksheet, cover some answers on the printout with small paper squares and ask your child which number is hiding. Children who need more numbers can use the 1 to 100 chart to skip count; tables up to 20 are a later, class 3 and 4 topic.
Keep tables happy
If tables cause tears, stop and go back to counting objects or addition with pictures. Multiplication only makes sense once adding feels easy. Praise effort and patterns noticed, not speed. Do not time young children.
For a child with a speech delay, listening and pointing is enough. Autistic children often enjoy the regular rhythm of tables; keep calm sound on if needed. Bilingual children can learn one language's chant first. If you are worried about development, talk to your paediatrician.
Screen time: listen together, then chant away from the screen, on a walk or in the car. Under-2s are better off with a grown-up and real objects than a screen.
