GCompris, a suite of educational programs for the little ones

Many Free Software programs that were born for Gnu / Linux are slowly coming to Windows. The latest one that has landed on the Windows Store is called GCompris.

GCompris is an educational suite or a set of educational programs They are often used to teach the smallest of the house to add, subtract, geography, music and even typing.

Recently this suite has reached the Windows Store which means that we can install it in our Windows thanks to two mouse clicks, but we can also install it through its official website , downloading the corresponding package.

Like many educational methodologies, GCompris is based on teaching through playThus, he does not teach typing in a traditional way but through games. The same happens with other subjects such as mathematics, science, geography, arithmetic or language.

GCompris is the most popular educational suite for Windows 10

In total there are more than 100 games that are expanding thanks to its community and that we can have in any Windows and in Windows 10 especially.

There are generally few educational suites for Windows. After the decline of Microsoft Encarta, few companies have kept their products, but GCompris continues to be successful, not only for Windows but also for other platforms.

Its diffusion through other platforms is mainly due to its low requirements, which means we can install it on any Windows computer, including Windows XP as well as other hardware such as Android smartphones or Raspberry Pi boards.

I have personally tried this educational suite and it seems to me that GCompris is one of those packages that must be included in the post-installation of Windows as well as Microsoft Office or a second web browser. At least if the equipment is going to be used by a child or is for the educational world.
