Put Pebbles on your iPad 🐾
Add it to the home screen once and it opens like a real app — its own kitten icon, full screen, no address bar, straight to this week’s lesson.
Setting up the iPad? Open this page on the iPad.
Copy or share the link below to the iPad, then follow the Safari steps. On a laptop or Android phone, Chrome and Edge can install Pebbles too: look for the install icon at the right end of the address bar, or open the browser menu → Install Pebbles (Android: Add to Home screen).

Tap Add
The name is already filled in — Pebbles. That’s it!
Ta-da!
The kitten is on your home screen
Tap it to open Pebbles full screen, right at the lesson list — no Safari bars, no sign-in. New lessons show up there on their own; there’s nothing to update.
Using Chrome on the iPad? Tap Share in the address bar, then Add to Home Screen. On a laptop or Android phone, Chrome and Edge show an Install button at the top of this page (or in the browser menu).
Good to know
Needs internet
The lesson videos play from YouTube, so join the church Wi-Fi before class.
Scores stay on that iPad
Team names and scores are saved on the device. The home-screen app keeps its own, separate from Safari — so run a class in one or the other, not both.
Hooking up the projector
Use a USB-C to HDMI adapter (older iPads: Apple’s Lightning Digital AV Adapter), or AirPlay: Control Center → Screen Mirroring → the Apple TV. Turn the iPad sideways.
Keep the screen awake
Pebbles asks the iPad not to dim, but for class it’s safest to set Settings → Display & Brightness → Auto-Lock → Never.
