Ziippi is a preschool app for ages 2 to 5, with every instruction read aloud so children can play before they read. In Namibia it fits the kindergarten years and pre-primary, the year before Grade 1.

See how it works

How it works

  1. Ziippi home screen in Spanish: «Hoy jugamos Números», a Jugar button and the other areas below.

    Step 1:They pick an area

    Your child picks an island on the play screen. For now the island names appear in Spanish, as in this screenshot.

  2. A Ziippi activity with six coloured shapes: tap only the blue ones.

    Step 2:They play, guided by voice

    Every instruction is spoken aloud and answered by tapping or dragging. No reading needed.

  3. Ziippi parent area in Spanish: a child’s overall progress, performance and progress in the five topics she has played.

    Step 3:You see their progress

    In the PIN-protected grown-ups area you see each child’s progress in the topics they have played, and their sessions.

Getting started

Pre-primary comes before Grade 1

In Namibia children go to an early childhood centre or kindergarten at 3 and 4, then to pre-primary, the year before Grade 1. Pre-primary is where numbers and sounds become a daily habit.

Home language and English

In the first school years many Namibian children learn in their home language, with English alongside. Ziippi plays in English or Spanish; English is the one most families here will choose.

Colours to start with

In Discover, the voice asks “Which one is red?” and your child chooses among four coloured circles. It is a calm first game for a child who has never used the app.

Short turns

A few minutes at a time is plenty. Stop while your child still wants more; it makes the next turn easier to start.

How billing works

In Namibia, the App Store and Google Play charge the subscription in US dollars. Eligible accounts get a trial when they confirm in the store; then the plan renews automatically until you cancel it there. The store shows the price and the date before you accept.
