Search for the Osmo Games app, download it and follow the on-screen instructions.

If you download the Osmo Games app from your app store you can not only link it to the parent app on your phone, so you can keep an eye on what your child has been doing, you can then see all the different games available, as well as which (if any) game pieces are needed.
