give him android game faucet

Those game are the worst games i don't know if you have ever tried them but those are literally filled with ads it was basically impossible for you to click the claim button as 3-4 banners pop up. If we actually had to teach are children about bitcoin we should encourage them to buy bitcoin using the their savings and tell them how the price of your initial money increased.

Unfortunately, most newbies choose to go the hard way, maybe even the hardest way that they found. And it's faucet sites. Yes you can start right away but games like that are just faucet sites with some gimmick added. The banners pop-up and makes it hard for you to claim because the creator of the app wanted you to click the advertisement since that's how they earn money. They need traffic on their faucet sites to earn money from the Advertisements. Every click counts.

Children should buy bitcoins using their savings? Uhmm. How? They are kids. They barely have money and whenever they get money from their parents, they spend it right away to buy candies.

Yes, for children buying bitcoins is impossible because of the too high cost of one coin. But to begin with, for fun, you can start with a crane.

At first teach them on how to save. Explain how savings works and its importance. Then slowly teach kids to invest. Explain them everything about bitcoins first,let them read about it,and if they asks questions as they always do then explain it well.

At the very young for sure kids will be having a hard time to comprehend what you are saying about bitcoin no matter how many times you did explained it will never be easy for them to understands even if you are only giving them an idea regarding to bitcoin . It is good to teach them how to save while they are young as it is very important first and once they are already at the right age and they know how to handle their finances we can start to teach them how to invest or introduce them to bitcoin .

This article doesn't talk about bitcoin but it got me thinking how to get kinds interested in bitcoin within the context of appropriate money management lessons. Think of we could teach kinds about it. The growth, the adoption, the inflation and retraction. The allure of the "internet money".

...what other ideas come to mind?

Kids should be given reasons and opportunities to earn money to prepare themselves for real life. Bitcoin is just one medium to earn value with.

But kids will not want to earn money you can see they always demand for free money and they are not able to earn money but teaching to them about the use of bitcoin is not bad as the future is of bitcoin currency and in the future they will demand for bitcoin so it is beneficial to teach them about bitcoin as we teach them about other currencies.

The difficulty with teaching kids anything is maintaining their interest in the subject.
That is why games are such a useful medium.

Maybe first introduce them to a game based on block chain. Then explain to them how and why it works. Then try to show them how that game would function using fiat currency infrastructures. Use this as a base to build more complex principles on, but keep it fun!

They will continue having interesting while this be a profitable activity for them. Children want money as adults want money, they want to buy toys, games and other stuff children like and sometimes their parents don't have money to buy for them.
Bitcoin can help children this way. But by playing games they won't earn much money. It will be more useful only to learn about bitcoin use.

They have a games on playstore the reward is bitcoin and I think this is the best first to teaxh kid how the bitcoin works . Because at the young age kida are very playful and I think many kids are not openminded on this kind of business because they want to play. But I believe theres a kid will understand how the bitcoin works and they will earn also bitcoin like their relatives family all the time they need  guide because if they have question you need to explain and answer it so the kids understand carefully.

but i think we should not push children to learn bitcoin as adult people because their world is only having fun and they don't think bitcoin as a way to make money. we should let them know bitcoin as much as they can and while they are playing in their world, we can teach them with another things so they can enjoy their day with playing with their friends.

Exactly, its not about teaching them to make money, children have no interest or concept of value, which is probably a good thing.
The use of games would be to teach the underlying principles of the block chain. The key to developing the mind of a child, as with anyone, is to teach the fundamentals of how and why things function as they do, and encourage them to test these fundamentals.

is it necessary to teach kids about bitcoin..?
I don't think that. bitcoin is not a game so that kids should be engaged here. I don't know why it would be useful for kids.
lets them learn about life and so other valuable things. keep them away from it.

It's not necessary, but honestly it's good to teach them how to access bitcoin which will help at times of emergency. If you have a good backing of bitcoin and if something worse happens unexpected what can be done. Holding it doesn't gonna help you. If kids were taught about accessing sure it will be used for some needs.

Its important for Kids to be taught everything not only about btc but also about life valuable lessons along with values. Btc is something that is fast evolving and acting as a best source for money transfer from one country to other within seconds. Its based on the technology which coming generation is going to create more new wonders. So essential kids should be aware of such new techniques.

[zidanw]

The link is dead, it's a good things to try to manage money since early age but the fear of children's tendency towards internet, children only know to play games if we open computer or smartphones and it will be difficult to absorb the lesson.

Nah, let the kids enjoy their childhood playing with their friends. Teaching about a new think is good for kids, but don't teach them about it 100%. I mean, just introduce the bitcoin and thats it.

[kpcian]

I don't know why it should teach to kids? is it feasible to them.? Does it necessary to teach them??
I really don't agree with you on this point. Bitcoin is not a game. Kids should be engaged in learning about life and other valuable thing which can be helpful to grow up mentally.
I think, kids should be kept away from Bitcoin.

With kids you usually want to teach them through games like a quiz or something and make it competitive, kids love to compete and play games/video games. Why would you be teaching kids about bitcoin anyways? There will be time for that, they'll learn it themselves if they find it appealing or interesting.

[PhucS]

Teaching children for Bitcoin, I think this is a necessity, when growing up they will not be surprised and will soon integrate with the trend of electronic money in the world. To teach, we need to be clever because not every child can absorb at all. They like to play games and watch cartoons, create funny videos and incorporate Bitcoin images. Do not talk too much about Bitcoin, children will find boring, every day say a little will make them feel interesting.

Yes they may not be interested in knowing or learning about bitcoins at that early age but as you said that they love to play video games then there are many games available that pays in bitcoins so if we show them those games then they would find it attractive and may start learning about bitcoins.

[Lalapan]

Interesting so the learning can be twofold:

1) The technology side, the puzzle that is part of the mining process, and

2) The financial implications, the money management element.

Good stuff, any other ideas?

Yes I agree with you

Children should be introduced to technology because technology is almost a necessity for mankind.
