What happens to your data

  • No sign-up. No account, no email address, no password – neither for children nor for teachers.
  • Names and progress stay on the device. They live in the tablet's browser storage and are not transmitted anywhere. Clearing the browser data clears the progress too.
  • No consent banner. We count page visits and finished rounds on a server of our own – no cookie, no identifier stored on the device. No names, no individual words, no progress.
  • No ads, no purchases. No third-party fonts either: they sit on the same server, so no request goes to Google.

Three levels on one device

Several children can share a tablet: each creates their own player and keeps their own progress. The level decides the vocabulary – and how much of the interface is shown at all; what matters is whether the child can read, not their age.

LittleChild, not reading yet300 wordsA single button, every word with a picture – for everyone who cannot read yet, usually ages 4 to 6.
BigChild, reads already1000 wordsPlus the choice of topics and their own word list, usually ages 7 to 10.
Grown-up11+, also German learners2344 wordsTopics, language levels A1–B1, round length – also for German as a second language.

What the game does didactically

  • Spaced repetition. A correct answer moves a word one box further, a wrong one puts it back to zero. What still wobbles is drawn more often – the boxes themselves are never shown to the children.
  • 1092 drawings. Every word on the two children's levels has a sketch, so that children who cannot read yet can play along.
  • Read aloud. Every word comes as a recording – first the word on its own, then with its article once the answer is in. Can be switched off.
  • 36 rules, counted through. The rules page does not claim that a rule holds; it shows how many of the 2344 words it applies to – with the exceptions right next to it. Every rule can be practised as a round.

What it cannot do

So that nobody stands in front of a class searching for it:

  • No class account and no teacher dashboard. Only the child sees its own progress, on its own device.
  • No transfer to another device and no backup. A new tablet means starting over.
  • No printable worksheets – this is a game for the screen.
  • Nominative only. Cases, plurals and declension are not covered.

How it gets onto the tablet

  1. Open panderdiedas.com in the browser.
  2. Choose Add to Home screen in the browser menu – after that the icon sits on the device like any app.
  3. On first start choose a name, a level and a colour. More children can be added later via the panda in the top left.

From the second start, practising works without a network. For a class set of tablets without Wi-Fi it is enough to open each device once – only the pronunciation then needs a connection.
