Safe Search Sites For Kids
( Thanks to Kim
Komando -
www.komando.com ) |
|
Yahoo! Kids |
This site contains movies, games and educational
content. It also has a kid-friendly search. A real
person has checked every site that appears in search
results. There is also a Study section for finding
help with homework. |
|
Ask for Kids |
This site lets children search using more than
keywords. They can ask questions to refine the
results. They can ask things like, “When did Hawaii
becomes a state?” It will return a quick answer, as
well as search results. And those results are
handpicked by editors. |
|
KidsClick! |
Librarians choose the search results here. They
select sites for children in grades K-7. Your kids
can browse through specific categories like art,
math and computers. Or they can search for whatever
they want. Controversial topics (sex, religion,
etc.) are included in search results. These sites
are allowed only if they are educational and
age-appropriate. |
|
ThinkQuest Library |
Oracle, the database company, holds an annual
competition called ThinkQuest. Students, ages 9-19,
create and enter educational Web sites. These sites
cover a variety of topics, including sports,
geography and history. The Library allows kids to
search through all of these student-created sites.
Some are cool. They might inspire your kids to enter
the contest. |
|
KOL |
This is AOL’s site for kids. It has articles, games,
videos and music. Kids can search the Web through a
moderated version of AOL’s search. It returns
kid-friendly results. There is also a homework help
section and message board for kids. If you have very
young children, check the Jr. section. It’s designed
for preschoolers. |
|
Pics4Learning |

students and amateur photographers donate them. The
photos are copyrighted. But t any student or teacher
can use them for free. There are pictures on almost
any topic. It’s a great resource for school
presentations. |
|
SearchEdu |
This site uses Google to search for sites with the
“.edu” address. That means results are all
educational institutions, mostly colleges. These
sites are often created for adult students. As such,
they may contain adult content. But it is usually
educational. This search is great for finding help
with homework. |
|
Fact Monster |
This is another homework site. It is filled with
facts and articles on various topics. Children can
only search within the site. They’ll also get
results for encyclopedia entries, timelines and
biographies. |
