Catch Up Digital Games

Currently, there are three collections of digital games* to complement Catch Up Literacy (making a total of sixty-nine individually designed games in fifteen animated worlds - all in English and in Welsh!).

We are hoping to be developing Catch Up Numeracy digital games soon.

We are currently working to make the digital games accessible online.
