Listen & Find
Hear an English word out loud, then find and tap the matching picture. A first listening game for kids aged 4-9 — no reading needed.
About Listen & Find
Listen & Find is a free listening game that gives young children their very first English listening practice. Press the big speaker button and a clear voice says one English word — dog, cake, train. Then your child looks at the bright pictures on the screen and taps the one that matches the word they just heard.
That tiny loop — hear it, picture it, find it — is the foundation of all listening comprehension, and the game repeats it in ten cheerful rounds that take just a few minutes. Because everything starts from sound rather than text, Listen & Find needs no reading at all, which makes it the most accessible game on 7ESL for the youngest learners: even a four-year-old who has never seen a written English word can play and learn. The word can be replayed as many times as your child likes with no penalty, so careful listeners are never rushed.
All vocabulary is drawn from the Pre-A1 and A1 young-learner lists — animals, food, school things, nature and everyday objects — the same words children will meet again in class and in storybooks. The game uses your device's audio, so turn the sound on or pop in headphones; the friendly speaker button replays the word whenever it is tapped. Listen & Find is completely free, with no ads inside the game, no account, no daily limit, and a sticker reward waiting in the album after every three-star round.

Frequently asked questions
What age is Listen & Find for?
Listen & Find suits children from about four to nine years old. Because the game starts from spoken words rather than text, it is the best first game for the youngest beginners — four- and five-year-olds can play without any reading at all, while older kids sharpen listening speed and picture vocabulary.
Do I need sound to play Listen & Find?
Yes — listening is the whole game, so turn your device's sound on or use headphones. Each round speaks one clear English word, and the speaker button replays it as often as you like. If your browser blocks audio at first, simply tap the speaker button once to start the sound. On shared or quiet devices, headphones work great.
Is Listen & Find free?
Yes, 100% free. There are no ads inside the game, nothing to buy and no premium tier. The game runs straight in the browser with no download, and children play as guests — no account or sign-up is ever needed.
Does my child need to read English?
No. Listen & Find is the one game on 7ESL that requires no reading whatsoever: the prompt is spoken aloud and every answer is a picture. That makes it perfect for pre-readers — and as children play, they connect sounds to meanings, which is the natural first step toward reading later.
Is there a daily limit on Listen & Find?
No. It is not a daily puzzle — there is no lockout and no once-per-day rule. Every round draws a fresh word and a fresh set of pictures, so children can play again and again, any day, completely free.
