SprintPals
A calm study loop for ages 6–8: choose a few tiny things, do an honest sprint, say each one back in your own words, and see the free time you earned today. Stop whenever you like — you lose nothing. On-device, no scores, no streaks.

Meet the cast
SprintPals's little crew gathers for a calm study loop. Marlo the study-coach asks rather than answers; each friend carries one good habit — choose a few, sprint honestly, say it back, and stop when you're done. The reward is the free time you earned, and there is always a bottom to the list.
Marlo
(Guide) the study-coach who ASKS, never hands the answer — the own-words prompt is a retrieval cue, not a grade (answer-withholding)
Pippa
Chooses just a few tiny things for today — you get to pick, it is never an assigned queue (agency / chosen-minimums)
Zoom
Starts the honest sprint and settles in — do your few things, no rush, no timer-to-fail (the honest sprint)
Redd
A miss is a re-try, never a fail — you can always go again (redo, anti-shame)
Sayla
Says each idea back in her own words before it counts — the Own-Words gate (retrieval-in-your-own-words)
Nessa
Stops when she is done and enjoys the time she earned — the list has a bottom (stop-when-done / the earned rest)
