What’s It About?
Play a variety of education-themed games and collect player tokens with LA LIGA - EDUCATIONAL GAMES. Tap on one of nine icons representing different game categories such as drawing, arithmetic, memory, puzzles, soccer, or knowledge of the La Liga teams and players. Each category has a handful of different activities to choose from. Complete simple addition or subtraction equations, match team badge icons with their jerseys, unscramble players' names, and more. Complete a few activities to earn a new player token; collect all 17 players from each of 20 teams.
Is It Any Good?
This cross between standard but solid educational games and soccer mania will likely delight die-hard soccer fans -- if only it weren't riddled with ads. There's a lot of content in La Liga - Educational Games that spans a variety of semi-educational themes. Though most of the games aren't particularly innovative, they're clean and easy to use. And sometimes they even offer above-average features, such as lots of drawing tools and colors, fun tilt-the-device mazes, or increasingly challenging math equations to complete. The real appeal, however, is the strong soccer theme. There's no doubt that it's for soccer fans -- even better if kids are fans of the many La Liga teams or players. This is a more than decent way to get those kids exploring a world that they love while interacting with learning material. However, it's disappointing that kids can just make in-app purchases to buy more player tokens instead of having to work to complete games. Even more discouraging is that with so many intrusive ads, the quality of kids' experience decreases. If kids really like this app, parents may want to seriously consider buying the ad-free version.
Talk to Your Kids About ...

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
