Getting started with Khan Academy Kids

So the first thing you want to do is go to your App Store and download Khan Academy Kids. Once you've done that, you can open our app and you'll be greeted by our fun characters.

You'll be taken to a sign-up screen. Click sign up and enter your email. We use this email to create your account, and we're going to ask you to verify it. So, once you've entered it and clicked next, you'll receive an email in your email inbox. You want to click the verify email button in that email, and then you're set to go back into the app and start creating accounts for your kids.

Click next here, and here you are. First, we're going to add the name of our first child, Kim. Kim is six, and we'll select an avatar for Kim, a dolphin. Ready to start learning now?

But we'll quickly show you how to create a profile for another child. If you swipe up into the parents' section, you'll see Kim's account there. Tap the new button, swipe up, and enter the name of the next child, Oscar. Oscar is actually older; he's seven, and he is going to be a tiger.

Now we have two children's profiles, Kim and Oscar. We're going to start learning with Kim, so we tap Kim, and if we press the play button here, we'll be in our personalized learning path. It'll serve up age-appropriate activities for your child, like this one.

If you wanted to do self-serve, you could click in the top left corner on the library icon. Then you can scroll through all of our activities, books, videos, our reading, our logic, social-emotional learning, and you can pick out what your child works on.

We've partnered with National Geographic and Bellwether Media to offer a range of characters and stories in formats to keep your child busy. And there's always the offline functionality—that suitcase under the word Library.

We can't wait for you to discover everything there is to do on Khan Academy Kids!
