Pranav's Calm Games 🌿
A short guide for parents, tutors, and therapists · pranav-calm-games.pages.dev
Why these games are built this way. Every game follows the same rules, taken from Pranav's
reports: no timers, no failing, no losing; quiet by default (he is sound-sensitive);
big touch targets (fine-motor and left-handed friendly); lots of specific praise; and
they lean on his strong visual memory for confidence. They support his therapy — they do not
replace his OT, speech, or remedial work.
The games and what each one helps
| Game | What it builds |
|---|
| 🫧 Breathing Bubble | Calming down; slow breathing. Use it to settle before/after harder tasks. |
| ✨ Calm Jar | Sensory soothing. No goal — just watch the glitter settle. |
| 🧠 Memory Match | Visual memory (his strength) → easy wins and confidence. |
| 🔍 What Changed? | Looking carefully and remembering. Fully self-paced. |
| ✏️ Trace & Glow | Hand strength & pre-writing control (helps handwriting). |
| 🧺 Pinch & Sort | Pincer grip + sorting/thinking. Drag or tap-then-tap. |
| 📖 Story Order | Putting events in order — a language goal from his speech report. |
| 🖼️ Picture Words | Reading & matching words to pictures. |
| 🧩 Build a Sentence | Sentence structure, no spelling pressure. |
| 🤸 Copy Me Moves | Body movement for muscle tone, core & balance. Gets him off the chair. |
| 💛 Feelings Faces | Naming feelings + calm-down ideas for big emotions. |
How to run a calm 15–20 minute session
- Start with a win. Open with Memory Match or What Changed? — he's good at these.
- One learning game. Pick one from tracing, sorting, or the language games. Just one.
- Get moving. Do Copy Me Moves — stand up, do it together. This is important, not optional.
- Finish calm. End with Breathing Bubble or Calm Jar so he stops in a settled state.
Good to know
- Praise the effort out loud — "You kept trying, well done." He responds strongly to appreciation.
- Never rush him. Being hurried is his biggest trigger. There is no timer anywhere on purpose.
- Sound is off by default. The language games have a gentle voice on (it reads words aloud) — the 🔊 button mutes it.
- Screen time is bounded. Always pair sitting games with Copy Me Moves or real outdoor/physical play.
- It remembers his settings and works offline once loaded.
Put it on his device
- Open pranav-calm-games.pages.dev and tap Add to Home Screen — it opens like a full-screen app.
- Lock him into it: iPhone/iPad → Guided Access; Android → Screen Pinning. This blocks ads, exits, and accidental taps.
- On a TV (HDMI): the games show on the TV, but he must tap the laptop/phone — the TV isn't a touchscreen. Best for Copy Me Moves, where he's standing and moving anyway.
Please share this list with Pranav's POSAT / remedial team and check it fits his current home
program before it becomes a routine. If a game ever frustrates him, stop and switch to Calm Jar.
These are meant to feel like play, never like a test. 💙
