Quiz rounds, out loud
Jubbo asks, your child answers out loud, and the round ends.
These are the activities where the box is asking rather than telling. It says something, waits, hears what comes back, and responds to it — then moves to the next one and, after a set number, stops.
The rhythm matters more than it sounds. A times-table chant works because it keeps time; a praise line after every answer breaks it, and a child who loses the rhythm forgets the table. So a right answer gets a tick and the next line straight away, and a wrong one gets the fact said plainly and rolled into the next.
Nobody is graded aloud when a child is playing alone, or alongside a grown-up. The score still reaches you in the app — it is just not something the box announces to a child sitting by themselves.
Two of these are marked as still on their way into the app. They are built, and the box plays them; what they are waiting on is an app release that shows them. Revise a chapter is the one worth waiting for if your child has exams: you photograph the pages of a schoolbook chapter and Jubbo asks about that chapter, whatever board you are on.
Revise a chapterComing to the app
Ages 6–15 · about 6 minutesPhotograph a chapter from your child’s schoolbook; Jubbo asks about it.
You photograph the pages in the app and watch the chapter get ready. Jubbo then asks eight questions drawn from it, easiest first — a right answer moves on, a wrong one gets the answer and the reason and moves on too. No retries, and no chapter is asked about twice in a row.
Works with any board or syllabus, because the questions come from the pages you scanned.
Mental MathsComing to the app
Ages 6–15 · about 5 minutesSums in your head — and the trick, when your child needs it.
Seven rungs of difficulty, starting in the middle and moving with your child rather than with the clock. The method for a sum is taught only when they miss one, so a child who can already do it is not slowed down being told how.
Table Time
Ages 3–15 · about 5 minutesThe times tables, chanted out loud and answered back.
Jubbo keeps the rhythm of the chant and your child fills in the answer. A right answer gets a tick and the next line straight away; a wrong one gets the fact said plainly and rolled into the next.
Sound Safari
Ages 3–5 · about 6 minutesJubbo plays a real recording and your child says what they hear.
A cow, a train, a school bell. Naming it puts the animal in the jeep, and at the end Jubbo plays the whole trip back — including your child’s own voice saying each one. Nobody is scored.
