How can I choose what my child works on in games?

You can choose what your child is working on by setting up a Practice task or a Competition

What are Sumdog Practice tasks and Competitions?

Sumdog Practice

• For example, you can set a Practice task to answer 50 correct answers on 'addition to 100' in 24 hours.
• Once they answer 50 correct answers, they get 50 bonus coins to spend in their Sumdog House!

Sumdog Competitions

• Suitable if you have more than one child - you can set different skills for each child
• Their correct answers will appear on a competition leaderboard. Each child will play to try and get to the top of the leaderboard by the end of the competition
