Most kids nowadays has access to digital gadgets like phones and laptops. I would rather save a short video explaining the basic idea behind blockchain on their device. I am pretty sure that they won't understand it in one sitting so I'll just have them watch it over and over again. Education by repetition is still effective.

Let no one get me wrong, but a 10-year-old child should have other priorities in life than learning about blockchain. Childhood is a very important period of every human being, a time of carelessness, playing with friends, freedom from the burdens of life. Personally, I would not take that away from any child, I think everything has its time and place.
Therefore, my advice would be to protect your children from unnecessary information until the time is right. Knowing about blockchain will not help them enjoy their childhood, exactly the opposite.

Kind of with @Lucius here. At that age, I think there is a vast area to really dig into with him: privacy.
I’d spend recurrent time on making him conscious of all the self-aware privacy practices he should consider, the implications behind providing information on their social channels, photographs, comments, and so forth, and how that develops into a digital footprint that stays with you and can be exploited by third parties in multiple ways (and even bite you back in the ass further down the road).
After all, privacy is something that is going to impact them from there on in a much more tangible manner than blockchain at that age. Come to think of it, one’s digital footprint does actually resemble to some degree a blockchain: People "trust" what they read out there with (little) proof of work, and the digital footprint you leave is often non-mutable (just give it a go at trying to delete all your social media, comments of forums of all sorts, google search engine, caches, dashboards, basements, etc.).

Except if the child has an interest in blockchain, but I don't know what the chances are for a child to have such interest when there's so much kid stuff for him or her to get busy and "dirty" with. Other than the child's inquisitive interest, I feel it's wrong to bore a child with something as complex as the blockchain technology.
There's a slight chance that if you introduce a child that early to what blockchain means, before they grow, he or she may with time lose interest in it due to how they perceived or understood it when they were younger, not knowing that our levels of understanding differs as we grow in age.

It really depends on the child's understanding but If I were you I would compare blockchain to other things to make it easier to understand. Like in a classroom their teacher and classmate are blockchains they are connected to each other, why? Because they exchange data, distribute information, receive or send data by hearing and talking it is like communication. Their teacher records every quizzes and attendance just like blockchain, Every transaction you made is recorded and has transaction history. And all those things are being converted into computer technology at least a little idea will help this kid.

ABC Book for Bitcoin, Altcoin & Cryptocurrency could be an option. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fimages-na.ssl-images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FI%2F41RGn86UH8L._SX367_BO1%2C204%2C203%2C200_.jpg&t=665&c=ArcqcLkZP-7C2g) Source : Amazon The book focused on the introduction of bitcoin & cryptocurrency-related since kids don't have a huge/experiment about the whole topic & technology this book was really fit for kids. So we can learn them first a few words relating to bitcoin and cryptocurrency instance learn them a whole topic about bitcoin technology and other topics because i believe kids don't have the ability to learning on that age. Also, the book was cover by a cute character, so the kids could be comfortable learning, reading & spelling a cryptocurrency topic More topic about ABC Book for Bitcoin you can find at here: https://web.facebook.com/watch/?ref=external&v=881488398860236

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPMDpb9ho4s Take a look at this blue cat and santa story about Christmas gift. This can give basic knowledge about blockchain even for a kid.But I don't think it is necessary to know about working of technology to use the applications based on them for example crypto payments.You can simply pay with cryptos when you know the bitcoin address from your wallet for that basic mobile using skills are enough.

The main point OP wants to tell, I think, is being able to explain blockchain in the simplest of terms. He could have used a grandparent as another example here. For noobs to be able to understand blockchain and crypto, we may need to treat them as having the mind of a kid or a grandparent learning the tech for the first time. Being able to teach the basics to those who doesn't have the slightest idea is crucial in any product/service to be widely used.

Exactly, even if they will have interest in blockchain they will still have a very difficult time understanding the concept of blockchain, they probably will not mind it after you have explained it to them because of the depth of blockchain but if you will still eager to explain it to the most simpliest way try to use things that the child is familiar so that he can understand it easily but still i think they will not understand it even if you simplified the explanation.

teach him how to program, just like people in india some are so young even microsoft offer them a job, learning programming , will make him understand what blockchain is, at the same time, there are fun ways to teach via blockchain, these are ways to make them enjoy learning , this way they will ask for more, unlike what I see from othere they force them to learn it , and the result is not good unlike if they enjoy it

I don't think a 10 year old kid will understand blockchain technology because an adult person can't even understand blockchain so how come a kid will understand it?
A 10-year old kid doesn't have enough knowledge about technology and it's advancement (unless he's so genius or gifted for his age). They mostly spend their time playing online games like playing Minecraft. But, they wouldn't be interested in any blockchain-related things.
But if you want to explain it to a kid, give him the lightest explanation. It doesn't have to be that specific or more on technicalities. You can simply say, it's a kind of technological advancement that will be part of our future. It can help a lot of people to makes things easier for them to do. You can example a robot. Robot helps people to do things easily. While blockchain is like a robot who can help in making things easier with the use of this technology.
They're too young to be thinking such complicated things. So it's better to wait for a kid to mature before explaining it further. Or you could just explain it to him from the simplest way and then make sure he will often encounter than word so he can keep it in his mind and wouldn't forget about it.

I remember the time when Minecraft had servers you could earn Bitcoin on by just playing and destroying blocks. A child growing up WITH the blockchain technology would make it easy-peasy when they are 18+ to use it. I grew up as a child interested in about anything related to tech, and today it's easy to understand most things about it.. and that's the perfect example I can give. I grew up with English video games, movies and forums and today I am a fluent English speaker. It helps a lot. There's no way you can explain cryptocurrencies to a child without getting him confused with every single sentence you speak. As I said earlier, practice is the best way to do it. Give a kid a Minecraft premium account, a server that integrates a cryptocurrency as the in-game economy and a wallet for the cryptocurrency. I guarantee in max 1 year he will know what cryptocurrencies are and how they work.

I think i can explain about blockchain by copy paste from Google Searching ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) But most of 10 years child in my place only know studying at School and playing with their friends. And Blockchain is not famous in my place, only 1-2 person know in my Village.
